atching the news at 6:00 PM, there was good news: according to the Dartmouth Hurricane center, Ophelia was breaking up because of the colder water. Yay, cold water rocks. Additionally, it looks like Ophelia track has changed a bit east ward. It’s not over yet, says the Hurricane center, ‘but it looks better than the forecast. There will be still winds and plenty of rain‘.
Earlier, CTV had a reporter on one of the NOAA planes inspecting Ophelia’s eye. At 5pm NOAA issued an updated weather warning:
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF NOVA SCOTIA EXCEPT FOR CUMBERLAND AND COLCHESTER COUNTIES. A TROPICAL STORM WARNING MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN THE WARNING AREA IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR CUMBERLAND AND COLCHESTER COUNTIES OF NOVA SCOTIA…AND FOR PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.
