BAR HARBOR, Maine—Atlantic storm Lee—which made landfall at near-hurricane strength, bringing destructive winds and torrential rains to New England and Maritime Canada—kept weakening Sunday after officials withdrew warnings and predicted the storm would disappear early this week.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Sunday morning that the post-tropical cyclone was about 135 miles (215 kilometers) west of Channel-Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland. The top sustained wind speed was 45 mph (70 kph) with some higher gusts expected.
