==DISCUSSION==
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS OF POSSIBLE 60 GUSTING TO 90 KM/H OVER
EXPOSED AREAS FROM HURRICANE LEE MAY OCCUR OVER THE ABOVE REGIONS.
WITH THE COMBINATION OF HEAVY RAIN AND WIND GUSTS FROM HURRICANE
LEE, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SOME TREE DAMAGE AND UTILITY OUTAGES
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WE DO NOT EXPECT A MAJOR IMPACT BUT
THE PUBLIC IS ADVISED TO SECURE LOOSE ITEMS ON THEIR PROPERTY AND
OTHER STANDARD PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES.
THIS WATCH COVERS A BROAD AREA INCLUDING TWO-THIRDS OF NEW
BRUNSWICK, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, THE MAGDELAN ISLANDS, NORTHERN NOVA
SCOTIA AND ALL OF CAPE BRETON. WIND DIRECTION WILL BE SOUTH TO
SOUTHEAST FOR MOST OF THE WATCH AREA EXCEPT NEW BRUNSWICK WHERE
WINDS WILL BE FROM THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST. THIS WATCH MAY BE
UPGRADED TO A TROPICAL STORM WARNING TONIGHT IF WE SEE SIGNS OF
INCREASING WINDS.
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS
(SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 65 KM/H OR MORE) ARE POSSIBLE OVER PARTS OF
THE REGION WITHIN 36 HOURS.
BY NATURE, A TROPICAL STORM ALSO IMPLIES THE THREAT OF LOCAL
FLOODING FROM HEAVY RAINFALL - CONSULT YOUR LOCAL AREA FORECAST FOR
POSSIBLE RAINFALL WARNINGS.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS ISSUED BY THE CANADIAN HURRICANE
CENTRE AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA. REPORTS OF STORM
