Satellite image of the remnant cyclone of Larry located between Newfoundland and Greenland as of 1520Z. The cloud shield toward the west is associated with an intensifying frontal cyclone exiting northeastern Canada:
As of 11 AM EDT… Hurricane Larry has finally lost tropical characteristics between Newfoundland and Greenland… and is now a powerful frontal cyclone supported by an amplified upper trough. The same upper trough is also aiding the intensification of a frontal cyclone exiting northeastern Canada… which is prolonging the presence of breezy to gusty winds in Newfoundland and also Labrador. These gusty winds will relax in the next 24 hours once the frontal cyclone pulls away… and whether or not the frontal cyclone or ex-Larry becomes the dominant expect coastal sea swells for Atlantic Canada… southeastern Greenland… and Iceland thru this weekend… with strong winds possible in southeastern Greenland tomorrow. This is my final statement on Larry in this special update thread as Larry is no longer tropical… and much of the impact ongoing in eastern Canada is associated with the frontal cyclone next to ex-Larry

…UPDATE…SEPTEMBER 11 2021 4:03 AM EDT...
The center of Hurricane Larry has finished crossing southeastern Newfoundland while now having exited the northeast coast just east of Gander… however the southeastern corner of Newfoundland is still getting walloped by gusts at or just below hurricane force as seen by wind observations at St. John’s. The southeast corner of Newfoundland remains under the southeast side of the rapidly moving hurricane where the forward speed and direction of travel is aiding the winds. Locations such as Badger and Gander northwest of the center have not seen as much wind… breezy conditions at most… as the wind on this side of Larry is likewise suppressed by its fast forward speed… even though the center passed just east of Gander. Even though the center of Larry has moved away… interests in southeast Newfoundland should remain sheltered indoors until the winds subside later this morning.

…UPDATE…SEPTEMBER 10 2021 11:25 PM EDT...
Winds continue to climb on the southeast corner of Newfoundland as the center of Hurricane Larry approaches… the Environment Canada weather station at St John’s recently reported a sustained wind of 42 mph (68 km/h) with a gust to 58 mph (94 km/h).
...UPDATE… SEPTEMBER 10 2021 11:11 PM EDT...
Winds continue to climb on the southeast corner of Newfoundland as the center of Hurricane Larry approaches… the Environment Canada weather station at St John’s recently reported a sustained wind of 37 mph (60 km/h) with a gust to 55 mph (89 km/h).
...UPDATE… SEPTEMBER 10 2021 11:05 PM EDT...
Center of Hurricane Larry about to make landfall in southeast Newfoundland… maximum sustained winds near the center remain at 80 mph due to the fast north-northeast forward motion of the storm which is keeping the wind speed elevated on the storm’s east side… and also as the incoming upper trough to the west continues to aid Larry with upper divergence. Tropical storm to hurricane force winds… along with coastal storm surge… are likely occurring across southeastern Newfoundland. The Environment Canada weather station at St John’s recently reported a sustained wind of 31 mph (50 km/h) with a gust to 48 mph (78 km/h).
...UPDATE… SEPTEMBER 10 2021 10:20 PM EDT...
Center of Hurricane Larry nearing St John’s and vicinity in southeastern Newfoundland… winds sharply increasing and now are at tropical storm force. A coastal storm surge is likely developing in the region:

Satellite image of Hurricane Larry closing in on Newfoundland as of 0040Z:
Hurricane Larry nearing southeastern Newfoundland while still packing 80 mph maximum sustained winds near the center… winds expected to increase soon. Current winds in the St John’s and Gander region are gusting just below tropical storm force. A coastal storm surge is also anticipated in the region in the coming hours.
