Breaking News: Ernesto’s predicted path is uncertain, although it is expected to reach Canadian waters by Monday.

Ernesto’s predicted path is uncertain, although it is expected to reach Canadian waters by Monday.

Hurricane Ernesto is expected to move southeast of Nova Scotia by Monday, according to its long-term projection.

However, the storm’s exact effects on the Atlantic region are yet unknown, according to the Canadian Hurricane Centre.

According to the Halifax-based agency’s projection, the storm is predicted to make landfall in Bermuda on Saturday as a Category 3 hurricane, bringing with it strong winds and a significant amount of ocean waves.

According to the government office, such high seas will build throughout the course of the weekend and start to arrive along the Atlantic coast on Saturday.

When Ernesto moves northeast, its center is expected to pass south of Nova Scotia, but it’s too soon to tell if the province will be hit by the storm’s strong winds and rain.

Environment Canada advises offshore oil facilities to “certainly pay attention to this storm” since there is a “slightly greater possibility” that Ernesto will influence weather over Newfoundland.
