UPDATE: Canadian Transit & Weather Updates – August 16, 2024

MONTREAL , QUEBEC – FLOODING

Montreal streets surround the Jacques Cartier Bridge currently flooding due to a water main break.  Local police have asked the public to avoid the area.  Jacques Cartier Bridge is currently closed!

NOVA SCOTIA / NEWFOUNDLAND

ECC has issued a watch regarding TROPICAL CYCLONE ERNESTO!

“We expect that the track of Ernesto’s center will be well south of Nova Scotia as it travels northeastward then will approach southeastern Newfoundland later Monday. Since the storm circulation will be quite broad with tropical air and downpours spreading well beyond its center, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland could see at least some rain either directly or indirectly on Monday and Monday night. The probability of wind impacts in Nova Scotia is now very low, but there is certainly an increasing likelihood that southeastern Newfoundland could be within the storm circulation. This will also become clearer over the weekend.”
