Weather warnings remain in effect for almost all of Atlantic Canada, as the expected track of hurricane Teddy now encompasses most of mainland Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, eastern PEI and the western half of Newfoundland.
The hurricane is advancing toward the East Coast.
The storm could make landfall Wednesday as a large and intense post-tropical storm on Cape Breton, but the region will see strong winds, heavy rain and pounding surf by tomorrow night.
Wave heights offshore are expected to reach up to 15 metres by late tomorrow.
