3. Public weather impacts and warnings summary
Hurricane watches remain in effect for Halifax, Lunenburg, Queens,
Shelburne, Yarmouth and Digby counties of Nova Scotia. In addition
tropical storm warnings are in effect for all of mainland Nova
Scotia, Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island, iles de la
Madeleine and the Fundy coast of New Brunswick including Moncton and
Southeast New Brunswick.
These tropical warnings are matched with corresponding public wind
warnings for gusts between 90 and 110 km/h. Gusts of this speed
Could cause tree branches and limbs to break and some trees to come
down. That could result in downed utility lines and related power
failures. There could also be some damage to signage, roofing
materials and building cladding. Gusts possibly to 130 km/h remain a
concern which could exacerbate these impacts.
Rainfall warnings are in effect for many portions of the region with
either 50+ mm in total or 25 mm/hr rates.
The uncertainty in the timing of the storm's arrival is about plus
Or minus 3 hours.
Wave impacts at the coast in the hurricane watch area could lead to
some beach erosion and damage to infrastructure, although the tides
are running low (neap) and the arrival time may be near low tide.
4. Marine weather impacts and warnings summary
Hurricane warnings are in effect for Lurcher and Browns Bank in the
southwest Maritimes marine district. Gales or storms are in effect
for many other portions of that district. Gales are in effect for
Western Newfoundland waters.
With the arrival of Earl, high waves and pounding surf can be
expected primarily along south and southeast-facing coastlines.
The threat of storm surge flooding is not great for regions around
the Bay of Fundy due to a run of neap tides. The greatest surge
threat will be over Southwest Nova Scotia, and the southern gulf
Of St Lawrence which includes the Northumberland strait.
5. Technical discussion for meteorlogists
A. Analysis
The wind field associated with Earl is very large and central
pressure very low for a category-one hurricane (961 MB). Wind field
was sampled on the eastern side by ascat imagery earlier today. The
centre of the hurricane is still over near 26 degree water. Dry
Air is moving around the southern side of the storm. Convection
remains relatively deep near the centre based on ir satellite
imagery.
B. Prognostic
Even though Earl will likely be a marginal category 1 hurricane at
landfall, its wind field will be spread over a greater area. Also
The abnormally hot and humid airmass over the Maritimes will allow
Earl to hold onto its tropical character. Water temperatures over
which the highest winds of the storm will travel are running 2 to 4
degrees above normal. Therefore, the buffering affect of the usually
cooler waters may be less with this storm. Thus, gusty winds,
possibly hurricane force, could overspread Nova Scotia with the wind
flow off the water from the south.
An upper trough/cold front over the Ohio Valley is approaching the
western periphery of Earl and will guide it toward the Maritimes.
C. Public weather
Asymmetries in the wind and rain fields will develop tonight as Earl
approaches. Heaviest rain will likely move toward the front and left
side of the storm with the highest winds concentrated to the right
Of the storm track. Some computer models show a band of rain
extending east of the storm into Newfoundland as Earl nears, similar
to a warm front development.
Regarding rainfall potential, for a storm of this nature, 2500
divided by twice the storm speed in knots is a rule of thumb for
rainfalls associated with the storm core. That roughly equates to
40 to 70 mm potential. These amounts are generally in line with
The output of latest dynamical models.
D. Marine weather
Wave models plus forecaster experience suggest that seas of 10
Metres are possible along the southern portion of Nova Scotia.

Could cause tree branches and limbs to break and some trees to come

Some beach erosion and damage to infrastructure..Although the tides
are running low (neap) and the arrival time may be near low tide.
4. Marine weather impacts and warnings summary
Hurricane warnings now posted for Lurcher and Browns Bank. For the
Maritime marine district.. Storms or gales issued for remianing
waters except Laurentian fan and the western half of Anticosti.
Over the Newfoundland marine district..Gale warnings have been
Posted for most western waters.
With the arrival of Earl high waves and pounding surf can be
Expected primarily along south and southeast-facing coastlines.
The threat of storm surge flooding is not great for regions around
the Bay of Fundy due to a run of neap tides. The greatest surge
Threat will be over Southwest Nova Scotia..And the southern gulf
Of St Lawrence which includes the Northumberland strait
5. Technical discussion for meteorlogists
A. Analysis
Goes and microwave imagery indicates increasing assymetry in Earl
with some evidence of drier air wrapping into its southern flank.
However it is developing in increasingly large wind field. A 1400Z
ascat scan shows gales over 200 NM in the southeast quadrant.
Observational data show this large wind field as well.
B. Prognostic
Despite Earl's Max winds weakening to cat 1 intensity earlier
Today..As previously mentioned indications are that Earl's wind
Field is expanding. Even though Earl will likely be a marginal
category 1 hurricane at landfall, its wind field will be spread over
a greater area. Also the abnormally hot and humid airmass over the
Maritimes will allow Earl to hold onto its tropical character. Water
temperatures ahead of Earl are above normal by 2 to 4 degrees and
have been persistently warm during the latter part of August. These
two factors come into play in the intensity of winds reaching Nova
Scotia.
The approaching trough and developing upper low over the
Great Lakes remains a significant factor in Earl's track.
C. Public weather
Asymmetries in the wind and rain fields will develop as the storm
moves toward the Maritimes. Heaviest rain will likely move toward
The front and left side of the storm with the highest winds
concentrated to the right of the storm track. Some computer
Models show a band of rain extending east of the storm into
Newfoundland as Earl nears..Similar to a warm front development.
Regarding rainfall potential..For a storm of this nature..2500
divided by twice the storm speed in knots is a rule of thumb for
rainfalls associated with the storm core. That roughly equates to
40 to 70 mm potential. These amounts are generally in line with
The output of latest dynamical models.
D. Marine weather
Wave models plus forecaster experience show that 10 metre or more
seas along the southeast flank of Earl is reasonable.
