Special weather statement in effect
Significant rainfall and strong winds are expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.
Total possible rainfall: 30 to 50 mm. Locally higher amounts of 60 mm near the Tri-counties.
Maximum wind gusts: southerly 70 to 90 km/h. Exposed coastlines could approach 100 km/h.
Locations: mainland Nova Scotia.
Time span: Wednesday late-day and continuing into Thursday.
Remarks: Similar storms in the past have caused travel delays and hazardous driving conditions, and road shoulder erosion and washouts. Significant snowmelt and runoff may occur. Be sure to clear storm drains and gutters of ice and other debris. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Utility outages are possible.
Temperatures are expected to quickly fall below the freezing mark Thursday evening.
