The remnants of Hurricane Teddy are expected to impact parts of the island and Labrador today.
Port Aux Basques and the Burgeo-Ramea areas are under tropical storm warnings, storm surge warnings, and wind warnings.
Those areas could see wind gusts of up around 110 km/h, with winds in the Wreckhouse up around 130 km/h.
Storm surge will also be a concern, with waves between 7 and 9 metres anticipated.
Tropical cyclone statements and rainfall warnings are also in effect for the majority of the south coast.
Special weather statements have also been issued for the majority of southeastern Labrador, where between 30 and 60 mm of rain is expected to fall.
Meanwhile, the city of Corner Brook has made preparations for Teddy’s arrival.
Although impacts from the storm are not expected to be significant, city crews are at the ready to respond if necessary.
They were out yesterday checking catch basins, headwalls, and making sure city trucks are equipped with flood prevention tools.
The effects of the storm are expected to begin impacting the west coast this afternoon.
