Strong wind, rotation risk as Sunday storms push into Maritimes – The Weather Network

TORNADO 101: What you need to know about staying safe

While the best dynamics for severe weather will remain in New England, we’ll have to closely watch any storms that develop in Quebec and push east into New Brunswick through the afternoon hours. This threat should primarily remain north of Moncton and Fredericton.

In addition to strong wind gusts, a couple of storms could develop rotation and pose a risk for one or two tornadoes.

The potential for unorganized thunderstorms will persist through the evening across the Bay of Fundy as the system moves east out of the region.

Looking ahead to Canada Day on Monday, we’ll see the best chance for clearing across New Brunswick. Conditions should remain gloomy for Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and the risk for rain will follow our pesky system as it tracks into Newfoundland.
