Special weather forecast | Hurricane Fiona

Sep 23, 2022

According to information received from the New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization:

Hurricane Fiona is expected to bring dangerous weather conditions in the upcoming days.

The most affected regions will be Southern, Eastern and North Eastern New Brunswick.

Worse conditions should be Friday night and Saturday.

Potential hazards include:

- strong and potentially damaging wind gusts

- coastal storm surge

- significant rainfall

Hurricane Fiona is expected to merge with a trough and transform into a hurricane force post tropical cyclone on Saturday. The trough will bring significant rainfall today, with additional rain on Saturday directly from the Fiona.

Strong to potentially severe wind gusts are expected to begin impacting the province overnight on Friday peaking on Saturday. Past storms of this nature have produced prolonged utility outages and structural damage.

Environment Canada meteorologists will continue to monitor the situation and will provide more details as Fiona approaches. The New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization is also working closely with his partners and monitor the situation.

At this stage, the impacts for the North West region will be minimal. Rain is still expected with moderate winds. 

We continue to monitor the situation and we will keep you informed of the development of the hurricane.
