the west late Thursday and into Friday. Gale force winds will begin

of coastal flooding to areas along the Bay of Fundy during high tide
late Thursday evening. Marine interests are advised that a high water
level warning is in effect for Fundy, Grand Manan and Lurcher.

Marine interests are also advised that gale warnings are in effect
for Fundy, Grand Manan, Lurcher, Browns Bank, Georges Bank,
