DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Dorian
was located near latitude 43.9 North, longitude 63.9 West.  The
post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the northeast near 30 mph
(48 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue for the
next 24 hours.  After that, a turn toward the east-northeast is
expected.  On the forecast track, the center of Dorian should cross
the coast of Nova Scotia near Halifax during the next few hours,
then move across eastern Nova Scotia into the Gulf of St. Lawrence
near Prince Edward Island tonight.  The center should then pass near
or over northern Newfoundland and eastern Labrador late tonight or
Sunday morning.

Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher
gusts.  The post-tropical cyclone is expected to weaken during the
next couple of days, and it is forecast to drop below hurricane
strength by Sunday morning.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) to
the south of the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend
outward up to 310 miles (500 km).  Osbourne Head, Nova Scotia,
recently reported sustained winds of 68 mph (109 km/h) and a wind
gust of 88 mph (142 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 953 mb (28.15 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are spreading across much of Nova
Scotia, and hurricane conditions are expected to spread over
portions of Nova Scotia during the next few hours.  Hurricane
conditions are also expected elsewhere in the Hurricane Warning
area later tonight.  Hurricane conditions are also possible in the
Hurricane Watch area tonight.  Tropical storm conditions are
expected in the Tropical Storm Warning area tonight and Sunday.

Tropical storm conditions are expected in the Tropical Storm Warning
area in Maine during the next few hours.

STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is likely in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, the Southwest Coast of Newfoundland, and Eastern Nova
Scotia.

RAINFALL:  Dorian is expected to produce the following rainfall
totals through Saturday Night:

Far eastern Maine...1 to 3 inches.
Nova Scotia...3 to 5 inches, isolated 7 inches.
New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island...2 to 4 inches
Newfoundland and far eastern Quebec...1 to 2 inches

These rainfall amounts could result in flash flooding.

SURF:  Large swells are increasing along the coast in Atlantic
Canada, and they will continue to affect that area during the next
few days.  Swells along the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts of
the U.S. will continue for a couple of more days.  These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Please consult products from your local weather office.
