Hurricane Fiona shaping up to be ‘potentially severe event’ for Atlantic Canada
Hubbard said there was still a large cone of uncertainty on Tuesday, meaning there wasn’t enough detail about where Fiona would go. It was an 800-kilometre range centred near eastern Cape Breton in Nova Scotia.
On Wednesday, however, that range shrunk to about 600 to 700 kilometres, centred over Cape Breton, “with a broad coverage of hurricane-force winds including over land,” Environment Canada said.A new update on Fiona from Environment Canada will be released Wednesday at 3 p.m. AT. The agency expects to have more detail on rainfall, waves and storm surge then.The Canadian Hurricane Centre has been monitoring hurricane Fiona as of Sunday.
Forecasters said the storm would cause massive flooding and threatened to dump “historic” levels of rain, with up to 76 centimetres possible in some areas.A state of emergency was declared in the U.S. territory as the eye of the storm approached the island. According to the U.S. , it’s forecasted the center of Fiona will pass near Grand Turk and the other eastern Turks and Caicos during the day.
