Dorian is now a "post-tropical cyclone" on his way to Canada

The state agency assigns this classification to natural formations that "no longer possess sufficient characteristics to be considered a tropical cyclone," but warned that it still carries torrential rains and strong winds.

Precisely, satellite data indicates that Dorian, which threatens this weekend with cyclone conditions in Nova Scotia (Canada), is stronger than previously announced this Saturday.

According to the NHC's 17.00 local time (21.00 GMT) report, Dorian advances northeast at 30 miles per hour (48 km / h) and is 170 miles (270 km) east southeast of the US city of Eastport (Maine) and 50 miles (80 km) south-southwest of the city of Halifax (Canada).

The NHC predicts that the now post-tropical cyclone will take a turn east-northeast on Sunday.
He points out that the center of Dorian should cross the coast of Nova Scotia near Halifax for the next few hours, and then cross the east of Nova Scotia to the Gulf of San Lorenzo near Prince Edward Island tonight. Precise that the center should pass near or over northern Newfoundland and eastern Labrador late tonight or Sunday morning. Dorian is accompanied by a tropical depression and tropical storm Gabrielle, which moves westward on Saturday in the Atlantic northwest and maintains maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour (85 km) to 1,180 miles (1,895 km) west southwest of the Azores.This Atlantic season is expected from 10 to 17 named tropical storms, that is to say winds with winds above 39 miles per hour or more (63 km / h), and of them from five to nine hurricanes, with winds of 74 miles per hour or more (120 km / h), according to the U.S. National Ocean and Atmosphere Administration ( N OAA).
This is a season with a 45% chance of an activity "above normal", which is 12 named storms, of which six become hurricanes, including three major. So far from the current Hurricane season, which began last June, has also registered tropical storms Chantal, Andrea, Erin, Fernand and Barry, which became a hurricane in July shortly before landfall in Louisiana, where it left substantial material losses, but none direct fatality
