Weather forecasters expect a weakening
Hurricane Dorian to arrive off the southeastern
Canada coast with hurricane-force winds, heavy rain, and dangerous storm surge.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said at 8 a.m. EDT that even if the Category 1 hurricane downgrades to a tropical storm, hurricane conditions are expected in portions of eastern Nova Scotia and western Newfoundland by late Saturday or early Sunday.
Canadian Hurricane Centre meteorologist Ian Hubbard said the storm is expected to lose its hurricane status as it crosses Nova Scotia.
