Hurricane watches are in effect from northern Cape Race to Cape St. Francis.
Environment Canada says Larry will quickly downgrade into a post-tropical storm once it gets over the colder Canadian waters and cause heavy rainfall of up to 50 millimetres as it tracks though the area.
The agency adds that the region could experience hurricane-force winds of up to 130 kilometres per hour.
Premier Andrew Furey is set to hold a storm-preparation announcement at 12:30 p.m. local time.
