Hurricane Larry tracker LIVE – Storm downgrades to a post-tropical cyclone after lashing Newfoundland, Canada
HURRICANE Larry has been downgraded from its hurricane status as the storm, now a post-tropical cyclone, continues to move north.
Though the storm may still bring snow, it’s not likely to be the blizzard originally expected.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Larry is forecasted to move near or over southeastern Newfoundland Friday night or early Saturday morning.
Larry moved away from Bermuda on Thursday night after it downgraded to a Category 1 hurricane with maximum winds of 90 mph.
Predicted to remain out to sea in the Atlantic Ocean, Larry was expected to cause “significant swells” along the East Coast from midweek until the weekend.
“These swells will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip-conditions so beach-goers are urged to follow the guidance of lifeguards and local officials,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Lara Pagano.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Olaf made landfall very close to San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Thursday night with sustained winds around 100 mph, NHC Eastern Pacific reported.
