Fredericton and Southern York County
4:39 PM ADT Saturday 27 September 2008
Rainfall warning for
Fredericton and Southern York County continued
Rainfall amounts over 50 millimetres are expected in these regions over the next 24-48 hours.
Tropical storm Kyle is currently west of Bermuda and is expected to reach hurricane strength as it moves northward. Kyle is forecast to track just west of Saint John New Brunswick after midnight Sunday night. It will continue northward over southeastern New Brunswick and reach Anticosti Island by Monday evening.
Rain associated with a non-related frontal system will affect most of the province tonight into Sunday. Rainfall amounts of 15 to 25 mm or more are likely tonight and during the day Sunday. As Kyle moves across southeastern New Brunswick Sunday night through Monday it will be accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds. The heaviest rainfall is forecast to occur west of Kyle's track Sunday night while the strongest winds will occur east of the track.
Current indications are that by Monday morning the weekend rainfall tally should range somewhere between 50 and 100 millimetres for most areas..Although higher amounts are possible over the southern half of the province. Emo New Brunswick reminds the public that rainfall in these amounts in a short period of time can result in rapid increase in water levels in streams and rivers and localized flash flooding.
The strong winds associated with Kyle are forecast to reach sustained values of 65 km/h or more with gusts of 90 to 110 km/h near the Fundy coast. These same winds speeds in similar events in the past have caused significant tree damage that has resulted in downed power lines and damage to structures due to falling branches or trees. All preparations to secure loose objects should be completed by Sunday afternoon.
