TROPICAL STORM HANNA INFORMATION STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE CANADIAN HURRICANE CENTRE OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 3.00 PM ADT WEDNESDAY03 SEPTEMBER 2008.
THIS IS A PRELIMINARY INFORMATION STATEMENT REGARDING POSSIBLE FUTURE EFFECT OF HANNA ON ATLANTIC CANADA. REGULAR MESSAGING IS PLANNED TO BEGIN AT 9.00 AM ADT THURSDAY 04 SEPTEMBER.WE ARE MONITORING THE DEVELOPMENT AND MOTION OF TROPICAL STORM HANNA OVER THE BAHAMAS. MOST COMPUTER MODELS SHOW THE STORM REGAINING HURRICANE STRENGTH AS IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD TOWARD THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. THE MODELS ARE ALSO SUGGESTING THAT THE REMAINS OF THE STORM COULD MOVE NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD EASTERN CANADA SOMETIME DURING THEUPCOMING WEEKEND..BRINGING WIND AND RAIN. IT WON'T BE UNTIL LATE THURSDAY OR FRIDAY BEFORE WE HAVE MORE SPECIFICS ON HOW THE SYSTEM MIGHT AFFECT THE REGION. THIS MESSAGE SIMPLY SERVES AS A HEADS-UP TOTHE POTENTIAL ROLE OF HANNA IN OUR FUTURE WEATHER..AND TO INFORM THAT THE CANADIAN HURRICANE CENTRE WILL BE WATCHING THE SYSTEM CLOSELY.END FOGARTY/BOWYER
The system will likely pass late Saturday night/early Sunday morning across Nova Scotia as a tropical or extratropical storm. The tracking across land masses, and the entry into higher latitudes and cooler sea surface temperatures should ensure that it does not develop into a hurricane but this should not diminish how seriously we should take weather systems like this. Some of our worst rain events have been from lesser storm intensities. There will be more to report on this system in the days to come.
