Rainfall warning in effect

Rain, at times heavy, is expected.

Rain at times heavy is expected overnight tonight and Wednesday.

Total rainfall: 40 to 80 mm, with locally higher amounts possible.

Locations: all of Nova Scotia.

Time span: overnight tonight and Wednesday, ending from west to east by late Wednesday night.

Remarks: Rain with embedded downpours or thunderstorms is expected again overnight tonight and Wednesday. There remains a fair bit of uncertainty with regards to how this weather disturbance, which is unrelated to Hurricane Franklin passing well to the south, will evolve as it tracks across the province. As this information becomes clearer, timing and locations of the heaviest rain as well as expected rainfall amounts may change.

Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.

Watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.

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