Satellite image of a merged frontal low pressure area heading into Atlantic Canada from the northeastern United States... consolidating from a combination of Nicole's remnants and a frontal low that was over the Great Lakes region Friday night (satellite image taken at 1800Z today):
Nicole's remnant low pressure area over the eastern United States has recently merged with a frontal low that was over the Great Lakes region yesterday night (both low pressure areas are being supported by the eastern divergence zone of an amplified upper trough incoming from the central United States). As the merged frontal low accelerates eastward across Atlantic Canada tonight (New Brunswick... Nova Scotia... Prince Edward Island... southeastern Quebec... and Newfoundland)... the assoicated gusty winds and coastal surf will no longer be directly associated with Nicole since this system is a merger between Nicole and another system. Prior to the merger... Nicole produced gusty winds approaching 40 mph across the coastal northeastern United States while gusts further inland struggled to exceed 30 mph (see sample of wind reports listed below).
The following are peak reports of wind at National Weather Service stations across the northeastern United States listed in mph. Due to the number of wind reports... called out the region of the state for each location (northeast... southeast... etc.):
