Satellite image of Elsa’s remnant frontal cyclone as of 1340Z. The red X marks the center of circulation:
The remnant frontal cyclone of Elsa continues moving rapidly northeast and is currently centered between the east tip of Quebec and Newfoundland as of this writing. The vigorous frontal cyclone remains supported by the divergence zone of an upper trough to the west…producing an area of heavy rainfall north of the center currently over southern Labrador and an area of gusty winds southeast of the center (currently passing over Newfoundland) where the cyclonic circulation of the storm is aided by it’s fast northeast speed.
Here are some of the strongest Environment Canada (weather.gc.ca) station reports of wind (mph) generated by Elsa over the last several hours (value in kph kept in parenthesis):
