A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect for parts of the Maritimes including Cape Breton with the effects to be felt in Newfoundland.

By the time Teddy reaches our coastline, it will be a post-tropical storm that is expected to bring strong southeasterlies to the entire island, especially the south and southwest coasts.

Marine Atlantic has altered its schedule for tomorrow.

Dale Foote, a Meteorologist with Environment Canada says it’s uncertain as to how intense the storm will be.

Foote says these systems tend to weaken as they hit the colder waters off Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and the Grand Banks but it will at least be a strong fall storm.

Meanwhile, crews worked around the clock over the weekend to repair roads that were damaged or washed out by heavy rains in the wake of Hurricane Sally.

The tail end of Hurricane Sally hit eastern parts of Newfoundland hard Friday into Saturday, with just over 200 millimeters of rain falling on the Placentia area.

Damage to roadways was severe in some areas, particularly in the area of North Harbour, where a large chunk of road was completely washed away.
