Special weather statement in effect – Update
Storm this weekend.
Maximum wind gusts: southeasterly, possibly up to 90 km/h and up to 150 km/h or higher from Margaree Harbour to Bay St. Lawrence. A wind warning has already been issued for some western counties.
Rainfall amounts: possibly up to 25 mm along the Atlantic coast.
Locations: Nova Scotia.
Time span: Saturday and Saturday night.
Remarks: Precipitation will develop over western Nova Scotia in the morning, spreading eastward to reach Cape Breton later in the day. There will be a risk of freezing rain across some parts of the province,
The emergence of this disturbance will coincide with high astronomical tide to produce elevated water levels. Large waves and pounding surf will impact the Atlantic coast near high tide late in the day Saturday. These large waves can cause coastal erosion in vulnerable areas, and flood some of the coastal roadways.
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.
