Tropical storms and the associated remnants are far from unusual across Atlantic Canada during the summer and early fall -- just not typically this late in November. Forecasters are keeping a close eye on Tropical Storm Nicole, as its remnants threaten periods of heavy rain and gusty winds over the East Coast this weekend. Because the storm is expected to be post-tropical well to the south of the region, it will essentially be a fall storm hitting through Saturday. More on when the rain and winds will be at their strongest, below.

This weekend: Rain and wind spread across the Maritimes as remnants from Nicole surge north

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued a tropical cyclone information statement for parts of Quebec, as well as New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. Rain and wind are expected over the Maritime provinces with very mild, tropical temperatures and gusty winds south of the track and cold northeasterly winds north of it.

"Since the storm is expected to transition to 'post-tropical' well to our south, it will essentially be an autumn-type storm while impacting Eastern Canada," ECCC says in the statement. "Heavy rain will spread well north of the low's track as far north and west as Lake Erie and Lake Ontario then into southern Quebec."

Rainfall amounts of 40-70 mm are possible throughout most of New Brunswick, with between 30-50 mm for P.E.I, and 20-50 mm for Nova Scotia, though mostly on Cape Breton. Even higher amounts up to 100 mm are possible in some localized spots.

Newfoundland will see between 50-75 mm of rain along the southern shores, with lesser amounts in the north as the rain will be lighter.

By the time the low slides across Newfoundland, there's enough cold air to even promote a nasty winter-like storm across northern sections of the province.

In addition to the rain, winds along coastal sections of the Maritimes will gust between 40-80 km/h.

An active pattern with another significant system is expected early next week, with widespread rain and windy conditions expected. Cooler than seasonal temperatures are also forecast for most of next week.
