Environment Canada has issued yellow rainfall warnings for parts of northern and eastern Nova Scotia Thursday with rainfall amounts of 50 to 70 millimetres.
It has also issued wind warnings for the south coast of Newfoundland with wind gusts reaching up to 100 kilometres per hour along the coast Friday afternoon and evening.
The storm started as a low pressure system and is currently off the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and heading northeast.

Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas left Cape Liberty, New Jersey Sunday with 5,000 passengers and docked in Halifax Tuesday night and Wednesday.
