Storm Lee has become a post-tropical cyclone as it approaches Nova Scotia but it is still producing hurricane-force winds, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Saturday.

NHC says Lee was about 220 miles (355 km) south-southeast of Eastport, Maine with maximum sustained winds 80 mph (130 km/h).
