The storm formerly known as Hurricane Bill is weakening in the north Atlantic off the coast of Newfoundland.
The US national hurricane centre (NHC) said Bill was losing its 'tropical characteristics' as it swept across Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada.
Before arriving in Canada, Bill - still bringing winds of up to 110kmph - led to the death of a seven-year-old girl in the US.
She died when she was knocked from a rocky ledge with two others - another young girl and a man believed to have survived - by a powerful wave in Maine's Acadia national park next to the Atlantic.
The NHC warned that Bill would still generate gale-force winds over the north Atlantic until Wednesday.
The Atlantic hurricane season, which runs until the end of November, has been at its most calm in 2009 for more than a decade.
