Tropical storm watch for
Avalon Peninsula South continued

Hurricane Ophelia is forecast to track close to the southeastern portion of Newfoundland Monday morning with a possibility of tropical storm conditions.

A tropical storm watch means that a tropical storm or an incipient tropical storm condition poses a possible threat to the specified areas within 36 hours.

Given the close range of hurricane Ophelia's track to the Avalon Peninsula Monday morning, a tropical storm watch is being issued by the Canadian Hurricane Centre for that region. This means that there is a possibility of tropical storm force winds (60 gusting to 90 km/h) from Ophelia.
