Special weather statement in effect for:

Fredericton and Southern York County

Back-to-back weather systems will bring two shots of snow to New Brunswick. A low pressure system tracking south of Nova Scotia will give near 5 cm of snow to southern New Brunswick tonight, possibly reaching near 10 cm over parts of the Fundy coast. Northern and central parts of the province will see just a dusting to a few flurries tonight.

The second system will approach from the southwest on Monday and is expected to bring significantly higher amounts of snow to the province. Light snow will develop over western New Brunswick later Sunday evening and then intensify across the province on Monday. At this time the highest snow amounts are likely to be over the southern half of the province where amounts could reach 20 to 30 cm or more before ending Monday evening. Northern sections of the province could receive between 5 and 15 cm.

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.

Winter storm warning in effect for:

Halifax Metro and Halifax County West

Hazardous winter conditions are expected. Heavy snow and gusty winds tonight and Sunday morning. A low pressure system passing south of Nova Scotia will give snow at times heavy tonight before tapering off Sunday morning. Strong northeasterly winds will develop this evening and combined with the heavy snow will give reduced visibilities in blowing snow tonight. Snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 cm are expected most of mainland Nova Scotia with possibly 40 cm over extreme southern areas. Over northern mainland Nova Scotia a snowfall warning has been issued for snowfall amounts reaching 15 cm. Conditions will begin to improve Sunday morning as the storm moves east of the province. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays.

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.

Special weather statement in effect for:

Sydney Metro and Cape Breton County

A couple of storms will affect the Maritimes this weekend and Monday. Winter Storm Warnings have been issued for the majority of mainland Nova Scotia except northern areas where Snowfall warnings have been issued for the storm affecting the province tonight. Environment Canada is continuing to monitor the development of a second storm forecast to impact Nova Scotia on Monday. This storm will begin as snow over southwestern Nova Scotia Monday morning and spread eastward throughout the day reaching Cape Breton by early afternoon. The snow will change through freezing rain and ice pellets for most of province but will change to rain along the Atlantic coast Monday afternoon. A prolonged period of freezing rain is possible for parts of northern Nova Scotia and the valley on Monday evening. Snowfall amounts of 20 to 30 cm are possible for northern Nova Scotia and the valley with lesser amounts expected along the Atlantic coast where the precipitation will become mixed with or changeover to rain. The storm on Monday may cause the cancellation of events sensitive to the weather and will disrupt or delay transportation.

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.

Special weather statement in effect for:

Queens County P.E.I.

A couple of low pressure systems will affect Prince Edward Island this weekend and early into next week. The first low will pass south of Nova Scotia tonight into Sunday. Snow ahead of this system will begin over the island overnight tonight and will taper off Sunday morning. Snowfall amounts near 5 cm are expected, and significant impacts are unlikely with this system. Forecast guidance is also indicating the approach of a second system on Monday. With this system precipitation is expected to start as snow Monday morning but may change to ice pellets or freezing rain later in the day for most of the island. Total snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 cm are expected. The snowfall and possible mixed precipitation may result in the cancellation of events and disrupt transportation.  Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
