NOVA SCOTIA.
THE ATLANTIC STORM PREDICTION CENTRE IS MAINTAINING RAINFALL
WARNINGS AHEAD OF THE TRACK OF BERYL... NAMELY THROUGH MUCH OF
MAINLAND NOVA SCOTIA AND SOUTHERN NEW BRUNSWICK. THE BACK EDGE OF
THE HEAVY RAIN HAS REACHED WESTERN NOVA SCOTIA AND RAIN WARNINGS
WILL BE ENDED IN THOSE AREAS. AS OF FORECAST TIME THE ASPC WAS

5. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION
A. ANALYSIS
CONVECTION HAS MAINTAINED ITSELF MOSTLY TO THE IMMEDIATE NORTHEAST
OF THE CENTRE TODAY. BERYL HAS UNDERGONE ITS POST-TROPICAL
TRANSITION EARLIER TODAY AND MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED
AT 40 KNOTS. WINDS AT BUOY 44037 HAVE NOW BACKED TO THE NORTH AND
JUDGING BY THE WINDS AND PRESSURE FALLS OVER SOUTHWEST NOVA SCOTIA
IT NOW LOOKS LIKE THE CENTRE OF BERYL WILL BE PASSING NEAR OR JUST
WEST OF YARMOUTH IMMINENTLY.

B. PROGNOSTIC
IN LIGHT OF THE TRAJECTORY OF BERYL EARLIER TODAY OUR TRACK HAS
BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE NORTHWEST. CONSEQUENTLY POST-TROPICAL BERYL
IS NOW EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE SPINE OF NOVA SCOTIA THIS
EVENING EVENTUALLY REACHING CAPE BRETON OVERNIGHT. THIS TRACK IS
SIMILAR TO THE 06Z UKMET TRACK. LATER IN THE PERIOD THE TRACK ACROSS
NEWFOUNDLAND HAS ALSO BEEN ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY NORTH. THE REMNANTS OF
BERYL ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GRAND BANKS LATE
SATURDAY AND THEN MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTH ATLANTIC.

C. PUBLIC WEATHER
ALL THE MOISTURE IS SHEARED AHEAD OF THE STORM CENTRE WITH REPORTS
SINCE THIS MORNING OF 20-30 MM PER HOUR IN SOME LOCATIONS. WITH A
TRACK FARTHER NORTH THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST
OF NOVA SCOTIA SHOULD BE LESS THAN EXPECTED EARLIER SINCE MOST OF
THAT RAIN WILL BE IN BANDS.

D. MARINE WEATHER
STEADY MARINE GALES HAVE YET TO BE REPORTED.
PREDICTED WIND RADII (NM)
TIME GALES STORMS HURRICANE
