Leslie is headed for Newfoundland and is expected to track over the southeastern part of Newfoundland on Tuesday morning. For those of you in Newfoundland, you should be taking today to get ready for a fairly significant impact from the storm. Increasing winds with heavy rainfall are expected across much of Newfoundland tonight with hurricane force winds possible across the eastern half of Newfoundland from late tonight into Tuesday morning. Heavy rainfall is expected across all of Newfoundland during Tuesday with total rainfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches expected.

tropical cyclone this week.
