Hurricane Teddy heads for Atlantic Canada

 

After passing Bermuda a day prior, powerful Hurricane Teddy was heading for Atlantic Canada on Tuesday, producing potentially life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the way, forecasters said.
As of 5 a.m. AST Tuesday, the storm was about 435 miles south of the Nova Scotian capital of Halifax, packing maximum sustained winds of 100 mph, making it a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It was traveling north at 28 mph.

Teddy is forecast to weaken from Tuesday night to become a strong post-tropical cyclone by the time it travels over Nova Scotia on Wednesday, the advisory said.

Large swells generated by the system were affecting Bermuda, the Lesser Antilles, the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, the eastern coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada, the advisory said...
