Where is Hurricane Fiona expected to make landfall?
Hurricane Fiona is expected to impact Atlantic Canada and eastern Quebec with heavy rainfall and powerful hurricane force winds beginning early Saturday.
The latest forecast guidance from Environment Canada brings Hurricane Fiona northward across Nova Scotia waters tonight, passing through Cape Breton Saturday morning, and then on to Quebec Lower North Shore and Southeastern Labrador early Sunday.
Severe winds and rainfall will have major impacts for eastern Prince Edward Island, eastern Nova Scotia, southern and eastern New Brunswick, western Newfoundland, eastern Quebec, and southeastern Labrador.
There will also be large waves, especially for the Atlantic coasts of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and eastern portions of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
There is a high likelihood of storm surge for parts of Nova Scotia, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and western Newfoundland, according to a press release from Environment Canada.
What else can we expect?
In addition to heavy rainfall and powerful winds, the hurricane-strength post-tropical storm is expected to bring power outages, rough, pounding surf and flooding in certain areas.
