Weather conditions deteriorating as Noel approaches the Maritimes

..Preparation efforts should now be completed...

At 9.00 PM ADT... Post-tropical storm Noel was located near Latitude 40.7 N and longitude 68.5 W... About 220 nautical miles Or 400 km south southwest of Yarmouth Nova Scotia. Maximum sustained Winds are estimated at 75 knots...139 km/h...And central pressure at968 MB. Noel is moving north northeast at 31 knots...57 km/h.

The current track has been moved back toward the east of thePrevious one..Based on a farther-east storm position at forecastTime. This track brings the storm center just west of Nova Scotia..Into the Bay of Fundy then across southeastern New Brunswick and eventually through central Labrador.

Although Noel is a post-tropical storm we expect it to beAccompanied by hurricane force winds. The public is advised not to focus on the actual track of the storm centre since the high winds and heavy rains will extend very far from the track line itself.
