In an email to Narcity, the organization said that they are closely monitoring the evolution of Hurricane Isaias.

Despite the condition of the storm being downgraded by the time it arrives in the Maritimes, wind speeds are still predicted to reach a maximum of 100 km/h.

The country's east coast was expected to see a more active-than-normal hurricane season this year.

Working from predictions made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, there could be anywhere from 13 to 19 named storms this year.
