Ike heading for Ontario/Quebec

Greetings from Portland, Maine...first of all the remains of Hurricane Ike are going to push northeast as a strong depression towards Ottawa on Monday. As a result very heavy rain will occur from central Ontario across the Ottawa Valley and into western Quebec. Heavy rainfall warnings are in effect with 60-90mm of rain or more than three inches. Flooding is always a possibility with this much rain in 24 hours. The main axis of the rain should fall just north of Kemptville but any deviation would result in heavy rain here. Stay tuned and use the links on the left for updated warnings.

I will be on Plum Island, Mass, we will be on the south and east side of this weather system and are expecting high surf with 30mph south winds and 3-6 foot seas. I will let you know how it plays out with pictures...I hope. Small Craft Advisories are posted here for the Atlantic Coast. Bye for now...off to the Maine Mall.
