Chris Fogarty is a meteorologist with the Canadian Hurricane Centre and says wind warnings will go out for the southwestern part of the province later today.
Tropical storm warnings are expected to go out tomorrow morning when the rain starts.
Fogarty says northwestern NB will see the heaviest rainfall, but Saint John will feel the brunt of the wind.
He says gusts could reach up to 120 kilometers per hour, and that kind of wind can break tree branches and cause power outages.
Fogarty says Saint John could also face surge flooding if the worst of the wind arrives just after midnight, coinciding with high tide.
