Wind warnings are in place for parts of Newfoundland as a fall storm approaches the region for the weekend, according to VOCM. The Weather Network reports that the strongest winds seen in months are expected to sweep across the province, with gusts exceeding 100 km/h.
VOCM also reports that strong winds arriving this weekend could cause damage. In a separate report, the outlet says some areas along the east coast could experience winds reaching hurricane force during the same period.
The warnings point to a significant early-fall weather event for the province, with the strongest gusts forecast for the weekend. NTV also carried a morning weather checkpoint covering the developing conditions.
Details on which specific communities fall under the warnings, and the exact timing of the strongest winds, were not available in the initial reports. Residents in affected areas are advised to monitor updates from local forecasters as the system moves closer.
More information is expected as the storm nears, and further warnings or updates may be issued over the weekend.
