Hurricane Lee, as of the latest available information from September 2023, was moving northward near the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. Specifically, on a recent update, the center of the storm was about 80 miles south-southeast of Eastport, Maine, and about 150 miles west-southwest of Halifax, Nova Scotia, moving north at 22 mph with sustained winds of 70 mph

. Lee was forecast to make landfall in Atlantic Canada later that day, particularly in southeastern Canada, and then move northeast across Atlantic Canada. It had already made landfalls in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador as an extratropical cyclone before moving out into the far northern Atlantic

. The storm had weakened from its peak as a Category 5 hurricane and was transitioning into an extratropical cyclone while causing significant impacts including power outages and dangerous surf along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and Canada

. In summary, Hurricane Lee is currently located near the coast of Maine and southeastern Canada, moving northward and expected to continue across Atlantic Canada as an extratropical storm
