Damaging winds from Elsa are not expected across the Maritimes at this time. However some gusty winds are possible south and east of its track through the region, potentially gusting to 60 or 70 km/h with brief gusts possible to 80 km/h over southwestern New Brunswick and western Nova Scotia Friday night.
