SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * New Brunswick from the Fundy National Park to Fort Lawrence and from Tidnish to Shediac including Grand Manan Island * Nova Scotia from Fort Lawrence to Avonport and then east from Lower East Pubnico to Tidnish * Prince Edward Island * Magdalen Islands A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning, in this case today through Sunday.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Lee was located near latitude 45.3 North, longitude 65.5 West. The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north-northeast near 14 mph (22 km/h). A faster northeastward motion is expected during the next day or so, taking the system across the Canadian Maritimes. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Steady weakening is forecast the next couple of days. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 290 miles (465 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 979 mb (28.91 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Lee can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO header WTNT43 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT3.shtml WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring along portions of the coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and will spread northward within the Tropical Storm Warning areas overnight. The strong winds are leading to downed trees and power outages. SURF: Swells generated by Lee are affecting Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. RAINFALL: Lee is expected to produce an additional 1 inch or less, or 25 millimeters or less, from portions of eastern Maine into parts of New Brunswick and far western Nova Scotia. This may produce localized urban and small stream flooding. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge will produce coastal flooding within the wind warning areas in Atlantic Canada in areas of onshore winds. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 AM AST. Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Kelly/Brown |
