Atlantic-Storm

Updated Aug20/09


The Canadian Hurricane Centre in Nova Scotia says hurricane Bill is expected to bring hurricane-force winds to parts of the Maritimes when it arrives late Sunday off the coast of Nova Scotia. Peter Bowyer, program supervisor at the centre, says that means maximum sustained winds over land hitting 120 kilometres per hour.

Environment Canada says it is too early to issue any warnings because the storm is still too far away.
