Rainfall warning in effect for:

Halifax Metro and Halifax County West
Rain, heavy at times is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.

A low pressure system currently near the Great Lakes region will track across New Brunswick Monday morning. Flurries will develop across Nova Scotia this morning and change to rain through the course of the day as temperatures rise. Rain will become heavy at times tonight and persist through much of Monday. Total rainfall amounts are expected to be in the range of 25 to 45 mm, however as much as 60 mm is possible over portions of eastern Nova Scotia. Very mild temperatures will also contribute to rapid snowmelt.

Additionally, higher than normal water levels could cause rough and pounding surf along the Atlantic coast during high tide on Monday.

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

Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.weatheraspc.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports using #NSStorm.
