Halifax Metro and Halifax County West
Another storm to affect the Maritimes on Friday.

A low pressure system will move up the eastern US seaboard Thursday night and track over or south of Nova Scotia on Friday. Precipitation is expected to begin in the west early Friday morning and spread to Cape Breton by the afternoon.

Precipitation should taper to flurries or showers overnight into Saturday morning. Strong southeast to easterly winds are also expected ahead of the system during the day on Friday.

At this time, there is still considerable uncertainty in the exact track of the system which will affect total rain and snowfall amounts expected. Keep updated on the latest forecasts as snowfall warnings may be required.
