3. PUBLIC WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY
THE ORIGINAL AREA OF RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH POST-TROPICAL STORM BERYL
IS MERGING WITH A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF
ST LAWRENCE. HOWEVER THERE IS AN AREA OF CONCENTRATED RAINFALLS OVER
SOUTHWESTERN NEWFOUNDLAND AT FORECAST TIME. A REPORT FROM PORT AUX
BASQUES AT 05Z REPORTED 21.5 MM OF RAIN IN ONE HOUR WHICH IS A RATE
SIMILAR TO THAT OBSERVED WHEN EX-BERYL MOVED THROUGH THE MARITIMES.

NO RAINFALL WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT..BUT THE PUBLIC SHOULD EXPECT A
BRIEF PERIOD OF LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS AS THE REMNANT LOW RACES
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE ISLAND TODAY. THESE DOWNPOURS COULD
DROP UP TO 15 OR 20 MM OF RAIN WITHIN THE SPAN OR 1 OR 2 HOURS.
SHOWERS MAY LINGER A BIT LONGER OVER THE NORTHERN PENINSULA IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH.

WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE ISLAND OF
NEWFOUNDLAND TODAY AS THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST. I DO NOT EXPECT GUSTS
TO BE MUCH HIGHER THAN 70 KM/H IN THE USUAL EXPOSED LOCALITIES.
MODERATELY ROUGH SURF WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTHERN COASTS OF THE
ISLAND TODAY.

4. MARINE WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY
MARGINAL GALE FORCE WINDS ARE BEING CARRIED THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
PERIOD SOUTH OF THE TRACK OF THE LOW. SEAS BETWEEN 3 AND 4 METRES
ARE FORECAST ALONG THE SOUTH COASTAL WATERS TODAY.

5. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

A. ANALYSIS
AS MENTIONED ABOVE..SOME OF THE ORIGINAL STORM CORE REMAINS WITH
ARCING BANDS OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE DOWNSHEAR (FRONT) SECTOR
OF THE LOW.

B. PROGNOSTIC
THIS HEAVY AREA OF RAIN WILL MOVE QUITE QUICKLY ACROSS THE ISLAND
THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. THE FAST MOTION SHOULD KEEP THE
RAINFALL TOTALS LESS THAN THOSE EXPERIENCED IN THE MARITIMES. THE
MAIN AREA OF RAIN COULD BE MOVING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST OF GANDER BY
MID MORNING.
