Tropical Storm Statement
Issued: 5:37 PM Oct. 29, 2025 – Environment and Climate Change Canada
The CHC is monitoring Hurricane Melissa as it continues moving through the Bahamas. While it accelerates northward, a very broad area of low pressure will intensify over the northeastern U.S. bringing rain and gusty winds to a large portion of eastern Canada - as far west as southern Ontario. The eastern portion of that very large non-tropical low could tap into some moisture from Melissa, increasing the rainfall amounts to a marginal extent in Atlantic Canada. It will be a wet and windy Halloween and start to the weekend for many, and for the most part, that weather will NOT be attributed to the hurricane. The wind circulation of Melissa is expected to track offshore of Newfoundland but recent weather model trends suggest it may track closer to the island portion of that province than expected earlier. IMPORTANT: Some models predict the centre - of what will likely be post-tropical Melissa by early Saturday - tracking very close to or even over the Avalon Peninsula. That scenario is a possibility which could bring some extra wind there. With the farther-north trajectory of the remnants of Hurricane Melissa, the CHC will go into 24/7 mode starting Thursday morning until likely early Saturday. This bulletin is currently only explicitly in effect for offshore zones where the direct impacts will be focussed. Land zones will be added in subsequent updates if warranted. The next information statement will be issued by 9:30 a.m. NDT Thursday.
