==discussion==
Hurricane Sandy will be moving through the Bahamas today with winds
in excess of 120 km/h. During the weekend Sandy is forecast to track
northward while remaining at or near hurricane strength. Sandy will
begin to lose some of its tropical characteristics during the next
two days, it will however remain a large and powerful cyclone as it
shifts toward the East Coast of the United States.

Sandy will quite likely impact parts of Eastern Canada early next
week. The track and intensity will, as always, depend on many
changing factors over a period of several days. Thus, it is too
early to meaningfully state how the storm will affect particular
areas. At this point in time we encourage consulting the forecasts
periodically during the weekend.

Please also refer to the public and marine forecasts and warnings
issued by Environment Canada for your area.
