across the Gulf of St. Lawrence through this evening, and then move
across Labrador and over the Labrador Sea on Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Gradual weakening is expected during the next couple of
days.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 405
miles (650 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface

occurring in portions of the tropical storm warning area in Canada.

RAINFALL:  Fiona is forecast to produce the following additional
rainfall:

Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and western Newfoundland: 1 to 3
inches (25 to 75 mm), resulting in storm total rainfall maxima of up
to 10 inches (200 mm). Flooding is expected, some of which could be
significant.

Labrador and eastern Quebec:  2 to 5 inches (50 to 125 mm).

Eastern New Brunswick: 1 inch (25 mm) with locally higher amounts.

STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce coastal

onshore winds. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by
large and destructive waves.

SURF:  Swells generated by Fiona are affecting Atlantic Canada, the
northeastern United States coast, and Bermuda. The swells are
