Arthur has now been downgraded from a hurricane to a post
tropical storm as southwestern Nova Scotia begins to feel its
effects this morning.
The Canadian Hurricane Centre says wind gusts of 90 to 100
kilometres per hour are being reported in the Yarmouth area.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for all of Nova Scotia and
P-E-I, as well as eastern and southern New Brunswick, which are
expecting 100- to- 150 millimetres of rain -- enough to cause
localized flooding.
As the storm continues to track in a northeast direction, Hatt
says the blustery, wet conditions will last about 12 to 18 hours in
any given location.
