UPGRADED! Tropical storm warning in effect for: •Moncton and Southeast New Brunswick Tropical storm conditions - early morning Saturday to evening Saturday. Tropical storm-force winds of 60 gusting to 90 km/h over exposed areas from Hurricane Arthur can be expected over the above regions. This is an upgrade from the previously-issued watch. These winds could break tree branches potentially resulting in downed utility lines. Secure loose objects on your property and anticipate power interruptions. Stay away from the shore - the combination of surge and large waves could result in dangerous rip currents and the risk of being pulled out to sea . A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions (sustained winds near 65 km/h or more) are expected over parts of the region within 24 hours. By nature a tropical storm also implies the threat of local flooding from heavy rainfall - consult your local area forecast for possible rainfall warnings. Environment Canada meteorologists at the Canadian Hurricane Centre continue to monitor the storm closely. Stay up to date at weather.gc.ca/hurricane, Weatheradio or your local media. Reports of storm conditions and impacts can be emailed directly to [email protected] or by tweeting reports by province to #NBStorm, #NSStorm, #PEStorm, #nlwx, #meteoqc or #ONStorm.
