10:41 AM AST Friday 09 November 2018
Special weather statement in effect for:

Fredericton and Southern York County
Snow, rain, and wind expected this weekend.

An intensifying low pressure system will approach from the southwest and cross New Brunswick Saturday night before moving off towards Labrador on Sunday.

Precipitation associated with the system will begin over southwestern New Brunswick late tonight and spread to all areas Saturday morning before tapering off Saturday night. Coastal areas of New Brunswick should see only rain with this system, while inland areas will start as snow early Saturday before eventually changing to or becoming mixed with rain in the afternoon. It is possible that northwestern New Brunswick will remain as snow throughout the day on Saturday. Areas over higher terrain might reach 15 cm of snow with this system.

There remains some uncertainty in the total precipitation expected by Saturday evening. Current guidance suggests that the highest rainfall amounts will be along the Fundy Coast, where rainfall warnings might be required. Elsewhere, rainfall amounts will be less, but could still reach or exceed 25 mm in some areas.

Additionally, strong easterly winds will occur on Saturday, especially along the coasts. Higher than normal waters levels are expected along parts of the Bay of Chaleur coast Saturday afternoon or evening with high tide. All of New Brunswick will see strong westerly winds on Sunday behind the low, and wind warnings might be required.

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

Special weather statement in effect for:

Halifax Metro and Halifax County West
Rain, strong winds, and possible snowfall expected this weekend.

An intensifying low pressure system will approach from the southwest and cross New Brunswick Saturday night before moving off towards Labrador on Sunday.

Rain associated with the system will begin over southern Nova Scotia overnight Friday and spread to Cape Breton by Saturday morning before tapering off Saturday evening. Some uncertainty remains in the total amount of rainfall expected for the province. Current information suggests that generally 15 to 30 millimeters is likely; however some areas may receive 40 millimeters or more in areas of heaviest rain by Saturday evening.

There are also indications that snow, or wet snow, may fall over higher terrain, like the Cobequid Pass and parts of the Cape Breton Highlands, Saturday morning prior to changing to rain.

Additionally, strong easterly winds can be expected on Saturday, especially along the Atlantic Coast as well as over western Cape Breton where a Suetes wind warning is in effect. All of Nova Scotia can expect strong westerlies on Sunday behind the low.

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

Rain, strong winds, and a slight chance of wet snow expected this weekend.

An intensifying low pressure system will approach from the southwest and cross New Brunswick Saturday night before moving off towards Labrador on Sunday.

Rain associated with the system will begin over Prince Edward Island early Saturday morning and taper off Saturday evening. Wet snow is possible mainly inland during the morning hours before temperatures warm up well above freezing. At this time, rainfall accumulations are expected to remain below warning criteria but some areas may see 25 mm by Saturday evening.

Additionally, strong easterly winds gusting near 80 km/hr can be expected on Saturday with the rain followed by strong westerlies on Sunday behind the low. Wind warnings may be required with subsequent forecasts.
