Special weather statement for issued by Environment
Canada at 3:38 PM ADT Friday 28 August 2009.

At 3:00 PM Friday tropical storm Danny was located about 570
kilometres south of Cape Hatteras. At 9.00 PM ADT Saturday evening
Danny is forecast to pass just southeast of Cape Cod and then track
across Nova Scotia through the day Sunday. Rain heavy at times and
gusty winds are forecast to begin in Southwestern New Brunswick late
Saturday and spread northeastward across the remainder of the
province Saturday night and early Sunday morning.

There is still some uncertainty surrounding the exact track and
intensity of this tropical storm therefore warnings have not yet been
issued. However current indications are that rainfall warnings will
likely be issued by Saturday morning as total rainfall amounts are
expected to exceed 50 millimetres over southern portions of New
Brunswick before the system leaves the area on Sunday. Maximum wind
gust are currently expected to remain below warning criteria.

The public is advised to monitor future forecasts for updated
information and possible warnings.
