[Shared from Haligonia.ca on Facebook] Tropical cyclone information statement for: NEWFOUNDLAND NOVA SCOTIA For hurricane Gonzalo. The next statement will be issued by 3:00 AM ADT. Hurricane Gonzalo expected to track north-northeastward later this week - potential impacts over land. Hurricane Gonzalo intensified quickly this past weekend and is moving away from the northeast caribbean. It is forecast to intensify to category-3 intensity this week. A cold front extending well into the subtropics will guide the hurricane northward near Bermuda, potentially drawing moisture over Nova Scotia and Newfoundland on Friday. The centre of the storm may track anywhere from just east of Cape Breton to well offshore over the Grand Banks - which is approximately a 600-km span of uncertainty. Timing of the storms possible impact over land or closest offshore approach will be in the late Friday to late Saturday timeframe. The Canadian Hurricane Centre will begin issuing regular bulletins on Wednesday since the storm is expected to at least affect our offshore marine district.
