Going through the data, the pressure at landfall was probably around 955 mb. The landfall point from what I could see was probably around Cow Bay at about 2245Z.

The Annapolis Valley will be getting an onshore flow now so that could raise the winds and storm surge there. It had been mostly an offshore flow until now. Also we need to watch for storm surge in places like the Strait of Canso.

Prince Edward Island probably gets the worst of it this evening into overnight - the worst will be on the north shore.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM AST (0000 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Dorian
was estimated near latitude 45.0 North, longitude 62.9 West. The
post-tropical cyclone is racing northeastward 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 continue to move
over Nova Scotia during the next few hours, then move over the Gulf
of St. Lawrence near Prince Edward Island tonight. The cyclone
should then pass near or over northern Newfoundland and eastern
Labrador late tonight or Sunday morning.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher
gusts, and these winds are occuring primarily over water. 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). Hart Island, Nova Scotia,
recently reported a wind gust of 76 mph (122 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 960 mb (28.35 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm and hurricane conditions are expected to
continue 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 late
tonight and Sunday.

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:

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.

NEXT ADVISORY
-------------
Next complete advisory at 1100 PM AST.

SLIDER has been down most of the day and is still stuck with old images, but this last one is pretty good. You can see the guts of Dorian as it rapidly heads to Canada.

It's clearing where I am located with a 10 mph wind gusting 20 mph (a nice breeze). I'm ecstatic I dodged this one. *whew*

Looks like poor Nova Scotia took it on the chin. :(

One thing is for sure: once we are truly done with Dorian, that will be the :Can: for him...no way does the name return in 2025.

Right now in Nova Scotia, over 375,000 customers - about 3/4 of the province - is without power. That's a much larger number that lost power than during Juan.

That is an awesome satellite compilation! It is fascinating to see how Dorian changed throughout it’s journey.

Makes sense to me. Juan was a far smaller storm. Outside of Central Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, the area was more or less untouched by his effects.
