3. PUBLIC WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY
RAINFALL WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT AS OF 9 PM FOR PORTIONS OF PRINCE
EDWARD ISLAND AND HAVE BEEN LIFTED FOR NOVA SCOTIA. EXPOSED LOCATIONS
SOUTH OF THE TRACK OVER EASTERN NOVA SCOTIA COULD STILL SEE GUSTS
NEAR 80 KM/H UNTIL LATE FRIDAY EVENING. THERE IS ALSO A SUETE WIND
WARNING FOR NORTHERN INVERNESS COUNTY IN CAPE BRETON.

BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN HAVE BEEN OCCURRING NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF
THE CENTRE WITH A MAXIMUM RAINFALL OF 61 MM AT BRIER ISLAND. THE
PREVIOUSLY QUOTED 64-MM TOTAL AT YARMOUTH WAS NOT THE OFFICIAL
AMOUNT. THE OFFICIAL AMOUNT BASED ON DIRECT RAIN GAUGE MEASUREMENTS
WAS IN FACT 46 MM OR JUST UNDER 2 INCHES.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS MAINLAND NOVA SCOTIA RAINFALL AMOUNTS REPORTED
AS OF LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON WERE GENERALLY IN THE 25 TO 35 MM
RANGE. WIND GUSTS IN THE HALIFAX AREA WERE BETWEEN 60 AND 80 KM/H AND
HEAVY DOWNPOURS OCCURRED LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON. A FEW SMALL TREE
BRANCHES WERE BROKEN RESULTING IN SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES.

WE WILL HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION REGARDING OBSERVATIONS AND IMPACTS
TONIGHT IN OUR MIDNIGHT UPDATE.

4. MARINE WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY
GALE WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR REGIONS SOUTH OF THE TRACK
WITH WINDS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS. MAXIMUM SEA STATE NEAR 5 METERS
IS EXPECTED WELL SOUTH OF THE TRACK. MODERATELY ROUGH SURF IS
EXPECTED ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST OF NOVA SCOTIA UNTIL SATURDAY
MORNING. ROUGH SURF WILL OCCUR ALONG THE SOUTH COASTS OF NEWFOUNDLAND
SATURDAY.

5. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

A. ANALYSIS
THE CENTRE OF POST-TROPICAL STORM BERYL CAME ASHORE NEAR YARMOUTH
AROUND 18Z THIS AFTERNOON. OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS STRONGEST WINDS
HAVE MOSTLY BEEN CONFINED TO THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE STORM.

OVERALL OUR WIND AND RAIN PREDICTIONS HAVE MATERIALIZED REASONABLY
WELL EXCEPT FOR SOME HEAVIER RAINS FARTHER NORTH THAN WE EXPECTED
THIS MORNING..AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER WINDS ALONG ATLANTIC COASTAL NOVA
SCOTIA. THE GUSTS WERE STILL ONLY ABOUT 10 KM/H HIGHER THAN PREDICTED
YESTERDAY. RAINFALL RATES WERE AS HIGH AS 25 MM/HR IN THE PRIMARY
LEADING BAND OF RAIN AHEAD OF BERYL'S REMNANT LOW CENTRE.

B. PROGNOSTIC
OUR FAVOURED TRACK PREDICTION FOLLOWS THE UKMET..CONSEQUENTLY WE HAVE
MADE A SLIGHT NORTHWARD ADJUSTMENTS COMPARED TO OUR LAST FORECAST
TRACK. POST-TROPICAL BERYL SHOULD TRACK OVER WESTERN CAPE BRETON
OVERNIGHT AND ACROSS SOUTHERN NEWFOUNDLAND ON SATURDAY. THE REMNANTS
OF BERYL ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GRAND BANKS
SATURDAY EVENING. SEVERAL MODELS...INCLUDING THE UKMET GFS AND NOGAPS
..THEN TAKE THE REMNANTS OF BERYL ON A SLIGHT EAST SOUTHEAST TURN ON
SUNDAY WHILE GOING AROUND AN UPPER RIDGE.

C. PUBLIC WEATHER
PERIODS OF HEAVIER RAIN ARE STILL EXPECTED THIS EVENING JUST
AHEAD AND TO THE NORTH OF THE CENTRE OF THE LOW.

D. MARINE WEATHER
NONE.

3. PUBLIC WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY
RAINFALL AMOUNTS TO 2PM ADT INCLUDE 59 MM AT YARMOUTH... 48 MM
AT BRIER ISLAND ... AND A LOCAL REPORT OF 45 MM FROM FREDERICTON
THIS MORNING. MAXIMUM WIND REPORTED WAS 96 KM/H AT BACCARO POINT
NOVA SCOTIA.

THE ATLANTIC STORM PREDICTION CENTRE IS MAINTAINING RAINFALL
WARNINGS AHEAD OF THE TRACK OF BERYL... NAMELY THROUGH MUCH OF
MAINLAND NOVA SCOTIA AND SOUTHERN NEW BRUNSWICK. THE BACK EDGE OF
THE HEAVY RAIN HAS REACHED WESTERN NOVA SCOTIA AND RAIN WARNINGS
WILL BE ENDED IN THOSE AREAS. AS OF FORECAST TIME THE ASPC WAS
CONSIDERING RAINFALL WARNINGS FOR PEI BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN
ISSUED. WIND WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR SHELBURNE COUNTY OF NOVA
SCOTIA WITH GUSTS TO 90 KM/H ESPECIALLY IN EXPOSED LOCATIONS.
GUSTS TO 80 KM/H ARE EXPECTED AS FAR EAST AS HALIFAX.

4. MARINE WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY
GALE WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR REGIONS SOUTH OF THE TRACK OF THE
LOW WITH WINDS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS. MAXIMUM SEA STATE NEAR 5 METERS
IS EXPECTED SOUTH OF THE TRACK. MODERATELY ROUGH SURF IS EXPECTED
ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST OF SOUTHWEST NOVA SCOTIA TONIGHT.

5. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

A. ANALYSIS
CONVECTION HAS MAINTAINED ITSELF MOSTLY TO THE IMMEDIATE NORTHEAST
OF THE CENTRE TODAY. BERYL HAS UNDERGONE ITS POST-TROPICAL
TRANSITION EARLIER TODAY AND MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED
AT 40 KNOTS. WINDS AT BUOY 44037 HAVE NOW BACKED TO THE NORTH AND
JUDGING BY THE WINDS AND PRESSURE FALLS OVER SOUTHWEST NOVA SCOTIA
IT NOW LOOKS LIKE THE CENTRE OF BERYL WILL BE PASSING NEAR OR JUST
WEST OF YARMOUTH IMMINENTLY.

B. PROGNOSTIC
IN LIGHT OF THE TRAJECTORY OF BERYL EARLIER TODAY OUR TRACK HAS
BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE NORTHWEST. CONSEQUENTLY POST-TROPICAL BERYL
IS NOW EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE SPINE OF NOVA SCOTIA THIS
EVENING EVENTUALLY REACHING CAPE BRETON OVERNIGHT. THIS TRACK IS
SIMILAR TO THE 06Z UKMET TRACK. LATER IN THE PERIOD THE TRACK ACROSS
NEWFOUNDLAND HAS ALSO BEEN ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY NORTH. THE REMNANTS OF
BERYL ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GRAND BANKS LATE
SATURDAY AND THEN MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTH ATLANTIC.

C. PUBLIC WEATHER
ALL THE MOISTURE IS SHEARED AHEAD OF THE STORM CENTRE WITH REPORTS
SINCE THIS MORNING OF 20-30 MM PER HOUR IN SOME LOCATIONS. WITH A
TRACK FARTHER NORTH THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST
OF NOVA SCOTIA SHOULD BE LESS THAN EXPECTED EARLIER SINCE MOST OF
THAT RAIN WILL BE IN BANDS.

D. MARINE WEATHER
STEADY MARINE GALES HAVE YET TO BE REPORTED.

Rainfall warning for
st. Stephen and northern Charlotte county issued

Local rainfall amounts up to 60 millimetres or more are forecast for today and tonight. This is a warning that significant rainfall is expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.


The remnants of tropical storm Beryl are forecast to brush the atlantic coast of Nova Scotia later today. Heavy showers ahead of the system have developed over the southern half of New Brunswick. These showers are presently streaming over Kent County and heavier precipitation in association with the post tropical storm is now expected over the Fundy coast of New Brunswick. Heavy rainfall warnings have therefore been posted for these areas.

3. PUBLIC WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY
RAINFALL WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR WESTERN NOVA SCOTIA INCLUDING
HALIFAX COUNTY FOR AMOUNTS BETWEEN 25 AND 50 MM. WINDS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH BERYL. EXPOSED COASTAL AREAS ALONG THE
ATLANTIC COAST OF NOVA SCOTIA WILL LIKELY SEE SOUTHEASTERLY GUSTS
IN THE 60 TO 80 KM/H RANGE WHICH WOULD BE BARELY ENOUGH TO BREAK
SMALL TREE BRANCHES.

4. MARINE WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY
GALE WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR REGIONS SOUTH OF THE TRACK OF THE
LOW WITH WINDS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS. MAXIMUM SEA STATE NEAR 4 METERS IS
EXPECTED SOUTH OF THE TRACK. MODERATELY ROUGH SURF IS FORECAST TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST OF NOVA SCOTIA FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SOUTH COASTAL WATERS OF NEWFOUNDLAND SATURDAY.

5. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

A. ANALYSIS
CONVECTION IS STILL OCCURRING IN SPITE OF THE TRACKING OVER COOL
WATER WHICH IS NEAR 17C. MOST OF IT IS APPEARING DOWNSHEAR OR IN THE
NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT. SURFACE WINDS ARE STILL ESTIMATED NEAR 45
KNOTS WITH MSLP NEAR 1001 MB.

B. PROGNOSTIC

WE HAVE NUDGED THE TRACK A BIT FARTHER NORTH WITH THIS FORECAST..BUT
STILL KEEP THE CENTRE ROUGHLY ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST OF NOVA
SCOTIA. THE MAIN POINT TO MAKE IS THAT THE STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD
REMAIN OFFSHORE OF NOVA SCOTIA. HOWEVER WE DO EXPECT THE CENTRE TO
CROSS EASTERN NEWFOUNDLAND BRINGING LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS TO THE
AVALON AND BURIN PENINSULAS ON SATURDAY. THE WINDS SHOULD STILL BE
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT WITH GUSTS TO ONLY ABOUT 70 KM/H.

FORECAST REASONING CONSISTS OF A BLEND OF GEM REG OUTPUT AND
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF THESE TYPES OF STORMS. MOST NUMERICAL
GUIDANCE MERGES THE LOW WITH A NORTHERN TROUGH TOO SOON..LEADING
TO A NORTHWARD-BIASED TRACK. THE GEM REG TRACK LOOKS REASONABLE
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE TO DECREASE THE CENTRAL PRESSURE AND BUMP UP THE
WINDS FOR OUR FORECAST. THE TIMING OF THE LOW LOOKS GOOD. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS ARE INFLATED SOMEWHAT FROM THE GEM REG TO REFLECT THE
ANTICIPATED AMOUNTS THAT WOULD OCCUR IN DOWNPOURS FROM THIS TROPICAL
AIRMASS.

THE RAINFALL DISTRIBUTION PATTERN PREDICTED BY GEM IS REMINISCENT
OF A TRANSITIONING TROPICAL STORM WITH MOST OF THE RAINFALL
OCCURRING IN A FEW BANDS AHEAD OF THE LOW CENTRE. THIS IS WHAT WE
EXPECT TO SEE OVER NOVA SCOTIA TODAY. WITHIN THE BANDS..SQUALLY TYPE
DOWNPOURS CAN BE EXPECTED. THIS PATTERN IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH A
RAPID MODE OF ET AS INDICATED IN SOME CPS FORECASTS FROM THURSDAY
WHERE THE RAINFALL DOES NOT BECOME AS LEFTWARD-SKEWED AS A STRONGLY
BAROCLINIC-TYPE TRANSITION.

C. PUBLIC WEATHER
WE HAVE NO REASON TO CHANGE THE CURRENT FORECAST WITH REGARD TO THE
RAIN WARNINGS AND WIND SPEEDS. DETAILED FORECASTS ARE FOUND UNDER
FORECAST HEADERS FPCN11/14/15 CWHX FOR THE MARITIME PROVINCES AND
UNDER FPCN16 CWHX FOR NEWFOUNDLAND. A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR
NEWFOUNDLAND HAS BEEN ISSUED UNDER THE WOCN16 CWHX HEADER.
