Fiona's wind field also began to grow in size and tropical storm-strength winds impacted Bermuda for several hours on September 23, despite Fiona passing well west of the island.[123] Fiona, weakened to a Category 3 hurricane that morning,[124] but briefly rebounded to Category 4 strength several hours later as it moved northeastward at about 35 mph (56 km/h),[125] before weakening once more to a Category 3 strength late that same day.[126] Shortly thereafter, Fiona weakened again before turning northward and quickly transitioning into a large and powerful post-tropical cyclone as it approached the coast of Nova Scotia at 03:00 UTC on September 24.[127] Soon thereafter, the system made landfall in eastern Nova Scotia 07:00 UTC with 100 mph (160 km/h) winds and a pressure of 931 mbar (27.49 inHg), slowing rapidly as it did so.[128] It then moved over Cape Breton Island with hurricane strength winds, although it continued to weaken as it moved northward.[129] When the NHC issued its final advisory on Fiona at 21:00 UTC that same day, it was centered about 80 mi (130 km) northwest of Port aux Basques, Newfoundland, and had maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 km/h).[130]
