It’s that kind of evening. Light winds and virtually clear skies.

Right now the @NHC_Atlantic has Ernesto becoming a Cat 3 , dissipating but still hanging on to Cat 1 strength as it heads towards NS. The track and strength may change between now and then. #nsstorm #nbstorm #peistorm (forecasted Sustained winds in km/h)

Atlantic Canada will have to keep an eye on Ernesto. Right now a Tropical Storm but it is expected to travel towards the Maritimes by the weekend. Perhaps with Category 1 strength? #nsstorm #nbstorm #peistorm @NHC_Atlantic

Right now the heavy rain is moving along the Fundy coast into N NS. ECCC has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch & expanded it into NB & SW NS. Remember a watch means conditions are favourable for Thunderstorms. Heavy rain and lightning will be the main threat with these storms.

A lot of rain is being produced by these thunderstorms. ECCC has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Saint John County. A severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect for Cumberland and Kings County. #NBstorm #NSstorm
