Queens County P.E.I.
Significant snow and high winds expected for Prince Edward Island late Tuesday into Wednesday...

Environment and Climate Change Canada meteorologists are tracking the development of a major winter storm that will begin to affect the Maritimes Tuesday afternoon and persist into Wednesday.

At this time, current long range information suggests that significant snowfall, rain, and strong northeasterly winds are likely for Prince Edward Island.

As this system has yet to develop, there remains some uncertainty in its final track and intensity. Slight shifts in the track of this low pressure system could significantly change precipitation amounts and duration, especially over eastern regions of the province where a changeover from snow to rain is more likely.

Warnings will likely be issued as the event draws nearer and the potential impacts become more certain.

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 #PEStorm.

A mix of snow, rain and high winds expected for Nova Scotia Tuesday into Wednesday...

Environment and Climate Change Canada meteorologists are tracking the development of a major winter storm that will begin to affect the Maritimes Tuesday afternoon and persist into Wednesday.

At this time, current long range information suggests that a mix of snow and rain with very strong northeasterly winds are likely for much of Nova Scotia.

As this system has yet to develop, there remains some uncertainty in its final track and intensity. Slight shifts in the track of this low pressure system could significantly change precipitation amounts and duration, especially along the Atlantic coast and northeastern regions including Cape Breton, where a changeover from snow to rain is more likely.

Additionally, higher than normal water levels are possible along parts of the Atlantic coast.

Warnings will likely be issued as the event draws nearer and the potential impacts become more certain.

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.

Significant snow with high winds expected for areas of New Brunswick Tuesday into Wednesday...

Environment and Climate Change Canada meteorologists are tracking the development of a major winter storm that will begin to affect the Maritimes Tuesday afternoon and persist into Wednesday.

At this time, current long range information suggests that around 20 to 40 cm of snowfall with strong northeasterly winds and blowing snow are likely for much of New Brunswick. Areas of southern New Brunswick may also see snow change over to, or become mixed with rain.

As this system has yet to develop, there remains some uncertainty in its final track and intensity. Slight shifts in the track of this low pressure system could significantly change precipitation amounts and duration.

Warnings will likely be issued as the event draws nearer and the potential impacts become more certain.

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 #NBStorm.
