OK, since the beginning of hurricane season, I have been closely watching each storm. Some, I have even considered a possible threat to eastern Canada...and here's another one. If...and I mean IF, it stays the course, Leslie could hit land somewhere in New England, which would, of course, impact eastern canukland!

==DISCUSSION==
TROPICAL STORM LESLIE CONTINUES TO ADVANCE TOWARD ATLANTIC CANADA AND HAS BEGUN INTERACTING WITH A SLOW-MOVING FRONTAL TROUGH OVER THE MARITIMES.THIS TROUGH WILL ACCELERATE AND STEER LESLIE TOWARD SOUTHEASTERN NEWFOUNDLAND WHERE IT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL AS A STRONG TROPICAL STORM WITH HURRICANE-FORCE COASTAL GUSTS TUESDAY MORNING. AS LESLIE INTERACTS WITH THE TROUGH IT WILL ENHANCE THE HEAVY RAINFALL ALREADY OCCURRING WITH THE TROUGH AS WELL AS STRENGTHEN THE WINDS BEHIND IT.HOWEVER THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE MOST LIKELY TO THE RIGHT OF LESLIE'S TRACK. HURRICANE WATCHES ARE IN EFFECT FOR THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO SEE THESE RIGHT-OF-TRACK WINDS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY OF A SLIGHTLY MORE WESTWARD TRACK, WITH TROPICAL STORM.
WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR EASTERN AND SOUTHERN NEWFOUNDLAND.
IN ADDITION, LARGE LONG PERIOD WAVES ARE FORECAST FOR EASTERN NOVA SCOTIA AND SOUTHERN NEWFOUNDLAND BEGINNING TUESDAY MORNING. WAVES OF ABOUT 3-5 METRES ARE EXPECTED FOR THE ATLANTIC COAST OF EASTERN NOVA SCOTIA. WAVES OF 4-7 METRES ARE FORECAST FOR THE SOUTHWEST COAST OF NEWFOUNDLAND INCREASING TO 8-12 METRES FOR THE PLACENTIA BAY AREA THEN DIMINISHING TO 5 TO 9 METRES EAST OF THE AVALON PENINSULA.
THERE IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS STORM SURGE IN PLACENTIA BAY AND THE BURIN PENINSULA REGION IF LESLIE ACCELERATES TONIGHT TO REACH NEWFOUNDLAND OVERNIGHT OR VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING. HOWEVER THE CURRENT ARRIVAL IS EXPECTED AT LOW TIDE.
PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST FORECASTS FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
END/..
Be safe out there Eastern Canada. And keep high and dry.
