HALIFAX – Rain and gusty north-winds could be in our forecast by Thursday.
The Canadian Hurricane Centre says a large storm off the Florida coast could brush past our province and Newfoundland later this week.
Forecasters say what is expected to become Tropical Storm Irma could accelerate towards the northeast, evolving into an intense post-tropical storm.
The CHC has issued a Tropical Cyclone Information Statement for Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, saying some rain and gusty winds are possible on Thursday.
They say at this point, storm-force winds in southern Canadian waters are most likely but expect to have a better idea later in the day on Tuesday.
