While Hurricane Erin is not expected to come close to land in the Maritimes, it is still likely to play havoc on both land and sea in Nova Scotia.
Global News meteorologist Ross Hull said that the hurricane’s effects will be felt in the area on Friday.
“Even though Erin is moving well to the south of the area, it is such a large storm that some impacts will be felt mainly from large ocean swells, rough surf, as well as rip currents for the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia,” Hull explained.
“There is the potential for waves to reach 4 to 5 metres especially over southwestern parts of Nova Scotia.”
He said that winds are also expected to be stronger along the coastline.
“Some gusty winds up to 70 km/h could also reach the coastline in the southwestern coast of Nova Scotia on Friday,” Hull offered.
Fire crews are racing against the clock to prepare for the hurricane’s effects as they continue battling a large wildfire raging in Annapolis Valley.
“The winds won’t be as strong more inland where the Long Lake wildfire is in Annapolis County,” Hull said.
