Strong southeasterly winds are expected to develop ahead of the low Wednesday morning and wind warnings may be required. Precipitation will

Strong southeasterly winds are expected to develop after midnight Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning and wind warnings may be required.

Precipitation will begin over southwestern Nova Scotia Tuesday evening and push northward over the rest of the province by dawn Wednesday. The

precipitation will begin as ice pellets, possibly mixed with freezing rain, and could persist for several hours. A few centimetres of ice pellets are
