Marine Atlantic will deliver an update today on how the ferry service will be impacted by Hurricane Earl. Spokesperson Tara Laing says they are monitoring the weather and customers will be advised of any potential service interruptions through their website , toll free reservation line and automated customer notification system. Laing says an update will be provided around noon today.

The hurricane impact isn't likely to be huge in this province, but forecasters remain steadfast that parts of Atlantic Canada will be hammered this weekend. The eye of the storm may make landfall in New Brunswick Saturday morning. Forecasters say there is a chance the storm may still be categorized as a hurricane when that happens. Some areas of the Maritimes could receive upwards of 70 millimetres of rain.
