The ultimate outcome for locations in New England will depend on how a few different conditions play out over the next two days.
Though the storm is expected to weaken, the Hurricane Center said it would remain “a large and dangerous cyclone” as it approaches New England and Atlantic Canada.
A hurricane watch, meaning hurricane conditions are possible within the area, stretched through down-east Maine from Stonington to the U.S.-Canada border.
The Canadian Hurricane Center also issued a hurricane watch on Wednesday for part of the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
The center said that its hurricane and tropical storm watches referred to conditions expected on Saturday.
