Environment Canada said while it is too soon to provide specific details, the potential exists for strong winds accompanied by rain.
The precipitation will fall briefly under the form of snow and ice pellets over northern and eastern regions of the province.
It continued saying the the emergence of this disturbance will coincide with high astronomical tide to produce elevated water levels.
Large waves and pounding surf will impact the Atlantic coast, especially near high tide. These large waves can cause coastal erosion in vulnerable areas, and flood some of the coastal roadways.
