Weakening Teddy Slams Canadian Maritimes

September 23, 2020
UPDATED By WeatherBug Meteorologists
Teddy has gone post-tropical, but it is still packing strong winds, heavy rain, and high surf as it makes its way west of Newfoundland. 
 
As of 8 p.m. AST/EDT, Post-Tropical Cyclone Teddy was located near 49.7 N, 59.2 W, or 150 miles north-northeast of Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland. Although weakening, Teddy is still producing tropical storm-force sustained winds of 50 mph. It has a minimum central pressure of 975 mb, or 28.80 inches of mercury as it moves north-northeast at 31 mph.

Damaging winds, battering waves and coastal flooding battered the Canadian Maritimes and Newfoundland today. Tomorrow, it will continue to accelerate and should become a remnant low in the North Atlantic. 

Although Teddy won’t directly impact the U.S. East Coast, it has churned the water enough to create dangerous waves and minor coastal flooding across northern New England.

This season is on pace to produce more named storms than any other season on record and we are in the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. The warm Atlantic remains ripe for tropical development through early to mid-October before slowly declining through the season’s end on November 30.
