==DISCUSSION==
TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS - EVENING TO EARLY MORNING.
TROPICAL STORM-FORCE WINDS OF 60 GUSTING TO 90 KM/H OVER EXPOSED 
AREAS FROM HURRICANE ARTHUR CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE ABOVE REGIONS.
POST-TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR IS MOVING SLOWLY OVER FAR-SOUTHEAST NEW 
BRUNSWICK. WINDS WILL CONTINUE OR INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON 
AND/OR EVENING. SOME LOCAL GUSTS TO 100 KM/H ARE POSSIBLE.
THESE WINDS COULD BREAK TREE BRANCHES POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN 
DOWNED UTILITY LINES. SECURE LOOSE OBJECTS ON YOUR PROPERTY AND 
ANTICIPATE POWER INTERRUPTIONS. STAY AWAY FROM THE SHORE - THE 
COMBINATION OF SURGE AND LARGE WAVES COULD RESULT IN DANGEROUS RIP 
CURRENTS AND THE RISK OF BEING PULLED OUT TO SEA .
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS 
(SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 65 KM/H OR MORE) ARE EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF 
THE REGION WITHIN 24 HOURS.
BY NATURE A TROPICAL STORM ALSO IMPLIES THE THREAT OF LOCAL FLOODING 
FROM HEAVY RAINFALL - CONSULT YOUR LOCAL AREA FORECAST FOR POSSIBLE 
RAINFALL WARNINGS.
ENVIRONMENT CANADA METEOROLOGISTS AT THE CANADIAN HURRICANE CENTRE 
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE STORM CLOSELY. STAY UP TO DATE AT 
WEATHER.GC.CA/HURRICANE, WEATHERADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA. REPORTS OF 
STORM CONDITIONS AND IMPACTS CAN BE EMAILED DIRECTLY TO
