Ice pellets, possibly mixed with freezing rain, will begin over southwestern Nova Scotia this evening and push northward over the remainder of the

province by morning. Rain will spread into southwestern Nova Scotia near midnight and spread northward overnight reaching Cape Breton by

Wednesday morning.

Rainfall amounts of 25 millimetres are expected with this system, but locally higher amounts are possible in heavy downpours.

Coastal regions may experience higher than normal water levels with the high tide on Wednesday.

Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads.
