DARTMOUTH - The Canadian Hurricane Centre released its latest details on Hurricane Earl.
Hurricane watches have been issued for Queens, Shelburne, Yarmouth and Digby Counties.
Tropical storm watches are in effect for Halifax and Lunenburg Counties, as well as Annapolis, Kings, Hants and the Fundy side of Colchester and Cumberland Counties.
Watches are also in effect for Saint John and Moncton.
The latest track shows the storm making landfall in western Nova Scotia as a Category One storm.
However forecasters are saying there's still a lot of uncertainty with a day and-a-half to go before the storm arrives.
Chris Fogarty with the hurricane centre says their most recent trackings are moving the storm to the west, with landfall in the western Nova Scotia.
Fogarty says although the American hurricane centre has the storm tracking as far west as Maine and through New Brunswick, they won't be following suit
"We won't be moving it really far west," he said. "There's still an area of uncertainty."
He says western Nova Scotia can expect substantial winds in the 130 km/h range and rainfall in the 50-70 millimetre range.
"That track would give Halifax some decent winds," he said. "[They could] gust into the 80-90 km/h range."
He says their range of possible tracks still have the storm making landfall as far east as Guysborough or as far west as northern New Brunswick.
