Chance of high winds, large waves on P.E.I.'s north shore prompts special weather statement
CBC
Environment Canada says large waves, pounding surf and elevated sea levels are expected along P.E.I.'s north shore Friday, potentially above normal high tide levels.
The weather agency issued a special weather statement for all three counties, warning of higher-than-normal water levels along north-facing coastlines on Friday afternoon.
"Storm surge and minor coastal flooding is possible along shorelines exposed to the north, especially around high tide. Water levels will begin to subside this evening, but high waves will persist through tonight before easing by Saturday morning," the weather statement reads.
"Shore or beach erosion and damage to coastal infrastructure is possible in vulnerable areas."
CBC meteorologist Tina Simpkin said strong winds are expected Friday, with gusts reaching up to 80 km/h along north-facing shores.
Coastal areas, such as St. Peters Bay, North Lake, Stanhope into Tignish, will experience the strongest winds later this afternoon and evening.
"The wind should subside overnight tonight, so that is some good news, but the waves will still be feeling the effects of the winds that will be so high throughout the day today," she said.
