Post-tropical storm Hermine projected to lose steam as it hits Canadian waters
Environment officials say Maritimers should brace themselves for blustery weather during the first week of school, as post-tropical storm Hermine makes it way up the East Coast.
Doug Mercer of the Canadian Hurricane Centre says Atlantic Canada will be spared the flooding and lashing winds that battered the United States as the storm made its way from Florida to Virginia over the holiday weekend, causing three deaths, power outages and severe property damage.
The meteorologist says the Category 1 hurricane has been downgraded to a post-tropical storm and is projected to continue to lose steam as it hits Canadian waters mid to late next week.
He adds it will not make landfall.
