Be prepared for a very wet and windy Saturday as Environment Canada issues a tropical cyclone information statement.
Tropical storm Arthur, now east of Florida, may affect the weather in Atlantic Canada with the expectation it will intensify to hurricane strength, as it moves slowly northeastward.
A trough of low pressure from the Great Lakes is guiding Arthur toward our region.
The likelihood now, according to the computer models, is for an offshore track with a lot of rain and strong winds but the Atlantic Hurricane Centre is not ruling out a direct impact.
