Description

Details

A fall storm featuring strong winds is expected. Locations: St. John's, Avalon Peninsula North, and the Clarenville area. Time span: Saturday morning until Saturday night. Potential wind gusts: northwesterly 70 to 100 km/h, with the strongest gusts along the coast and locally higher gusts possible. Similar storms in the past have caused: - disruptions to ferry services - tree and minor property damage - scattered utility outages Remarks: A weather system is forecast to rapidly intensify off the northeast coast of Newfoundland on Saturday, bringing a period of strong west to northwesterly winds to the region. Loose objects may be tossed or damaged by the wind. Secure or bring indoors loose items such as seasonal outdoor furniture before the strongest winds arrive. Fully leafed trees are more vulnerable to wind damage at this time of year than during the winter season. Consider having flashlights and batteries on hand in case of a utility outage.

Description

Détails

On prévoit une tempête automnale accompagnée de vents forts. Régions : St John's, la péninsule d'Avalon Nord et la région de Clarenville. Période : de samedi matin jusque dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche. Rafales possibles : du nord-ouest de 70 à 100 km/h, les rafales les plus fortes étant attendues le long de la côte; des rafales plus fortes sont possibles par endroits. Par le passé, des systèmes comparables ont causé : - des perturbations des services de traversiers; - des dommages mineurs aux arbres et aux propriétés; - des pannes d'électricité par endroits. Remarques : un système météorologique devrait s'intensifier rapidement au large de la côte nord-est de Terre-Neuve samedi, occasionnant un épisode de vents forts d'ouest à nord-ouest sur la région. Les objets non fixés pourraient être projetés ou endommagés par les vents. Attachez ou rentrez à l'intérieur les objets non fixés comme les meubles d'extérieur saisonniers avant l'arrivée des vents les plus forts. Les arbres qui ont encore toutes leurs feuilles sont plus vulnérables aux dommages causés par le vent à cette période de l'année que pendant l'hiver. Songez à avoir des lampes de poche et des piles à portée de main en cas de panne d'électricité.

Note
Service Notice – July 2026: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For Spring 2026, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's deployment to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard, which was originally scheduled for June 2026, is delayed. We will communicate the new date when it is available. Monitor https://dd.weather.gc.ca/doc/genots/ for notifications on the new launch date. Information about free-form polygons representing the true threat area of a weather hazard remains under media embargo until launch, 2) marine alerts will now be issued for smaller zone splits in certain areas of Atlantic and Pacific waters and 3) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – juillet 2026: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour le printemps 2026, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) Le déploiement par ECCC visant à introduire des polygones de forme libre pour représenter la zone réelle de menace d’un aléa météorologique, qui était initialement prévu pour juin 2026, est retardé. Nous communiquerons la nouvelle date lorsqu’elle sera disponible. Surveiller https://dd.weather.gc.ca/doc/genots/ pour les notifications concernant la nouvelle date de lancement. Les informations concernant les polygones de forme libre représentant la zone réelle de menace d’un aléa météorologique demeurent sous embargo médiatique jusqu’au lancement, 2) les alertes marines seront désormais émises pour des subdivisions de zones plus petites dans certaines régions des eaux de l’Atlantique et du Pacifique et 3) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures. Pour plus d’informations sur ces changements: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/
