Parts of coastal New England and Atlantic Canada under tropical storm warnings as Hurricane Lee nears

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:27:30 GMT

(CNN) — Hurricane Lee will take a swipe at parts of coastal New England and Atlantic Canada starting Friday with heavy rain and strong winds that could lead to localized flooding and knock out power across communities.Lee will continue to track north and weaken through Friday, and its center will be hundreds of miles off the US East Coast. But its massive size – with strong winds extending far from the center of the storm – means gusty winds, locally heavy rain and high surf will push into New England.Tropical storm conditions – winds of at least 39 mph – are expected to start in southern New England on Friday afternoon, the National Hurricane Center said. The storm’s strongest winds are expected to be largely confined to coastal areas, but gusty winds in inland New England cannot be ruled out, and power outages are possible with trees at risk of coming down in already saturated soil.Localized flooding is possible as Lee drenches parts of New England with several...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Volunteer members of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard could be seen on the streets Friday in western Iran as the country neared one year since 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in police custody, prompting protests that challenged the country’s theocratic rule.In Tehran, Iran’s capital, and other cities, the public noticed a heightened presence by police and security forces that went unreported by the country’s state-run and semiofficial media.
