Along the south coast, areas from Burgeo to Ramea have been put under wind warnings and blowing snow advisories, warning of near-zero visibility.

East and northeastern-facing shorelines from Cape Freels to Cape St. Mary’s are under a yellow Coastal Flood Warning, with Environment Canada Meteorologist Veronica Sullivan advising to stay away.

“Along with the storm, it’s coinciding with the nearly full moon, so we will have elevated water levels with storm surge and also some wave action in those east to northeasterly winds, especially along east and north facing coastlines,” she told VOCM News.

“Keep an eye out for elevated water levels and the potential for some damages due to coastal flooding.”
