      FOR TROPICAL STORM SEAN.

      THE NEXT STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED BY 3:00 PM AST.

      WE ARE CURRENTLY MONITORING TROPICAL STORM SEAN WHICH IS
      EXPECTED TO MERGE WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT SOUTH OF
      ATLANTIC CANADA.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
==DISCUSSION==
TROPICAL STORM SEAN MAY ATTAIN HURRICANE STATUS TODAY AS IT MOVES 
NORTHEASTWARD TO THE WEST OF BERMUDA.  A STRONG COLD FRONT IS 
APPROACHING THE STORM FROM THE WEST AND IS EXPECTED TO
QUICKLY ABSORB IT AND EXTRACT THE MOISTURE NORTHWARD - FALLING OVER 
NOVA SCOTIA AND NEWFOUNDLAND TOMORROW.  CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT 
THE WIND CIRCULATION OF THE STORM WILL BECOME INDISTINCT AS IT 
APPROACHES THE SOUTHERN MARINE FORECAST DISTRICT.  WE WILL ASSESS 
COMPUTER MODELS TODAY AND MAY ISSUE A DETAILED FORECAST THIS 
AFTERNOON IF WE EXPECT THE STORM CIRCULATION TO AFFECT THE MARINE 
FORECAST REGION MORE DIRECTLY THAN IS CURRENTLY INDICATED. 
REGARDLESS, HIGH WIND, HEAVY RAINFALL AND UNSEASONABLY WARM 
TEMPERATURES WILL OVERSPREAD ATLANTIC CANADA AND OFFSHORE WATERS 
TOMORROW.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS AND WARNINGS CAN BE FOUND AT 
WEATHEROFFICE.GC.CA/WARNINGS AND STORM TRACK INFORMATION AT
