TROPICAL STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FOR: Annapolis County Antigonish County Cobequid Bay Colchester County Colchester County North Cumberland County Cumberland County North and Cobequid Pass Digby County Guysborough County Halifax County Halifax Metro and Halifax County West Hants County Inverness County Kings County Lunenburg County Mabou and north Minas Shore Pictou County Queens County Richmond County Shelburne County Sydney Metro and Cape Breton County Truro and south Victoria County Yarmouth County east of Porters Lake south of Mabou Tropical storm conditions - early morning to early evening Saturday. Tropical storm-force winds of 70 gusting to 100 km/h and possibly higher over exposed areas from Hurricane Arthur can be expected over the above regions. 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.
