Interested that nobody is discussing the fact that the GFS & Euro seem to want to wipe Nova Scotia off the map for good.

The capture is very similar to Igor/Sandy, though it's looking to be a significantly stronger storm than either.

Wow, I'm right at the southwest corner of New Brunswick less than five miles from the Maine border and even my area is in the purple, looks very nasty.

I'm likely going to travel up to Eastern CB for this one.

Lowest pressure ever recorded in Canada was 940 MB I believe in Newfoundland, this could be an all timer.

Stay safe man!

I think something around 930-935 is very reasonable. Already intense storm and powerful trough interaction will deepen it more.

I knew a few were showing it in the 920s up here but that seems a bit extreme. Something around 930-940 seems reasonable. I remember Dorian was in the 950s just after ET transition. I am in Sackville NB and can't make it to CB so I'll probably only see 970-980 at most with the current track but I'm still interested and keep watching.

0z Euro has 957mb in the northern Gulf of St Lawrence... From 929mb the frame prior.

Euro comes to shore in Nova Scotia sub 930 MB as a worst case scenario hybrid bomb.

Seems unlikely to transpire pressure wise.

King ICON is a very similar look...931mb landfall on eastern Nova Scotia. I don't like the leftward bend in that track during the secondary deepening phase

This is looking to be a monster once it reaches me in cape breton how strong is the question. Very low pressures could be biblical event . I can finally get my storm!

Speaking of the future a Hazardous Weather Outlook has already been issued for all Maine regarding the winds it is very early for such in my experience with winter storms for example. Looks like this one could be something special -

Hazardous Weather Outlook
National Weather Service Caribou ME
739 AM EDT Wed Sep 21 2022

MEZ001>006-010-011-015>017-029>032-221145-
Northwest Aroostook-Northeast Aroostook-Northern Somerset-
Northern Piscataquis-Northern Penobscot-Southeast Aroostook-
Central Piscataquis-Central Penobscot-Southern Penobscot-
Interior Hancock-Central Washington-Coastal Hancock-
Coastal Washington-Southern Piscataquis-Northern Washington-
739 AM EDT Wed Sep 21 2022

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for Central Highlands Maine,
Coastal DownEast Maine, Far Eastern Maine, Far Northern Maine,
Interior DownEast Maine, North Woods Maine and Penobscot Valley
Maine.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

The potential exists for strong gusty winds Friday into the weekend,
as a powerful low pressure system associated with Hurricane Fiona
tracks into the Canadian Maritimes. Gusts up to 50 mph are possible
with this system, which could lead to downed trees and power outages.


.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters are encouraged to report significant weather
conditions according to Standard Operating Procedures.

12z GFS has this getting to 928mb (!) near Canada. That would have to be some sort of record right?

Yes.

the Canadian record for the lowest pressure observed belongs to Newfoundland's St. Anthony, dropping to 940.2 mb way back in 1977.

Seems likely a new record will transpire

Yes the European model predicts a landfall very close to Cape Breton at 928 mb and over 100 mph winds. Batten down the hatches. Could be your worst storm in a lifetime known for an area that gets their fair share of cold core deep storms. North Atlantic unseasonably warm SSTs along with baroclinic enhancement might make this storm incredibly intense.

Yes it would ! , and im in the path of it going to be insane on satelite , and impacts would most likely be bad .

Yes as a weather fan , this is going to be urnreal to see unfold , i got gas jugs filled all the necessities for a power outage , ill be sure chasing the storm tho .

The HAFS has Fiona as likely one of the strongest Bomb Cyclones ever recorded, 916 mb and 154 mph.

EDIT: Lowest pressure is 910.8 mb, but jeez!

Thats insanity !

[Iceresistance]

HWRF peaks this at 150 mph, then 88.8 knots (102 mph) and 913.6 mb at landfall.

[Iceresistance]

Okay then, the HAFS model needs to be thrown out of the window for now!
