Hurricane Lee is threatening to make a faster and windier landing in the Maritimes than earlier forecasts predicted.

Chris Fogarty with the Canadian Hurricane Centre says the storm may feature a “somewhat faster approach speed” as it passes Cape Cod and arrives in western Nova Scotia and southern New Brunswick on Saturday or early Sunday.
