Tropical storm Gert expected to have little impact on Atlantic Canada
HALIFAX — A tropical storm moving up the United States east coast is expected to produce storm-force winds over the southern Grand Banks later this week, but will otherwise have little impact on Atlantic Canada.
Environment Canada meteorologist Darin Borgel said tropical storm Gert is expected to become a hurricane Tuesday.
“But it is not expected to have any direct impact on the Canadian land territory. At this time it’s expected to turn off to the northeast and track across the southern Grand Banks sometime on Thursday morning,” Borgel said Monday.
He said coastal parts of Atlantic Canada may see slightly higher than normal waves as the storm passes, but otherwise won’t see any impact from the storm.
