Winter Storm Dorothy Update Five

3:52 PM AST Thursday 28 November 2019
Snow squall watch in effect for:

Victoria County
Snow squalls are expected to develop. Under the snow squall bands, visibilities will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow, and snow will quickly accumulate.

Flurries at times heavy are expected. Snow squalls are likely as a cold northerly flow develops over the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Total snowfall: locally up to 20 cm by Saturday morning.

Locations: Northern Nova Scotia and eastern and central Prince Edward Island.

Remarks: Flurries at times heavy will develop Friday morning and will
persist Friday afternoon and Friday night. Snow squalls with
locally poor visibility are likely as well.

Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.

Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.

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.
