No longer a hurricane, Dorian is continuing to weaken as it moves across eastern Canada, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Sunday night.

Now a post-tropical cyclone, Dorian made landfall in Nova Scotia on Saturday night, and by Sunday night it was 25 miles east-northeast of St. Anthony, Newfoundland, with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph. It is moving northeast at 23 mph. Even though it is not a hurricane, "dangerous storm surge impacts are likely in portions of the northeastern Gulf of St. Lawrence and western Newfoundland," the National Hurricane Center said.
