It’s that kind of evening. Light winds and virtually clear skies.

Right now the @NHC_Atlantic has Ernesto becoming a Cat 3 , dissipating but still hanging on to Cat 1 strength as it heads towards NS. The track and strength may change between now and then. #nsstorm #nbstorm #peistorm (forecasted Sustained winds in km/h)

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

Atlantic Canada will have to keep an eye on Ernesto. Right now a Tropical Storm but it is expected to travel towards the Maritimes by the weekend. Perhaps with Category 1 strength? #nsstorm #nbstorm #peistorm @NHC_Atlantic

Right now the heavy rain is moving along the Fundy coast into N NS. ECCC has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch & expanded it into NB & SW NS. Remember a watch means conditions are favourable for Thunderstorms. Heavy rain and lightning will be the main threat with these storms.

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

A lot of rain is being produced by these thunderstorms. ECCC has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Saint John County. A severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect for Cumberland and Kings County. #NBstorm #NSstorm

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

It is a stormy morning. ECCC has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. This cluster of thunderstorms are producing heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds. The potential for 10-25 mm from these storms in a short period is high. #NSStorm #NBstorm

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

Stormy weather especially in Kings and Hants county. ECCC has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for both. Heavy rain and lightning is expected underneath these storms. A severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect as well as a rainfall warning. Be safe #nsstorm

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

When this line of rain and thunderstorms moved through Fredericton 30-55+ mm fell. ECCC has extended the Severe Thunderstorm Watch into NS. Thunderstorms can produce locally heavier amounts of rain, lightning and gusty winds. #nsstorm #NBstorm

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

Heavy rain is falling in Southern NB and N NS. The rain is persistent in PEI and Cape Breton. ECCC has issued a severe thunderstorm in S NB. Thunderstorms that do develop will produce torrential down pours along with lightning. #nbstorm #nsstorm

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

Happy Friday. Scattered showers this AM in the west with mild temps. More showers will develop this afternoon with T-Storms possible in NB. SAT more showers with risks of T-Storms. Slow clearing on SUN. #nsstorm #nbStorm #peistorm

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

Watching Beryl. A major hurricane CAT5 in the Caribbean. Jamaica is under the gun with the potential of heavy flooding tomorrow. Beryl is expected to move into the Yucatan Peninsula by the end of the week.

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

The first week of July will bring back the summertime heat. Skies will continue to clear from west to east and temperatures will soar into the upper 20's in the west. It will remain cooler along areas of the coast. #nsstorm #nbstorm #peistorm

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

There are no watches or warnings from ECCC right now. There are thunderstorms out there that are producing lightning as well has heavy rain. T-storms remain in the forecast today/evening. Stay weather aware today. Heavy rain is no fun to drive in. #nbstorm #nsstorm #peistorm

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

ECCC has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Cumberland county. These thunderstorms are capable of producing torrential rain in localized areas. Warnings are still in effect for the NB Fundy coast. #nbstorm #nsstorm

[Tina Simpkin @tsimpkin]

Thunderstorms are rocking the NB Fundy coast. ECCC has issued a Severe T-Warning for Saint John Co. courtesy of these T-Storms producing torrential rain. Elsewhere the rain will be moving in from W to E with risks of thunderstorms today. #nbstorm #nsstorm #peistorm
