Freezing rain is expected that is likely to impact the afternoon rush hour.

Time span: this afternoon in western Nova Scotia. Late afternoon and early evening in central Nova Scotia.
Location: all of western Nova Scotia as well as Hants County, Halifax Metro and Halifax County West, and Colchester County – Truro and south.
Remarks: The freezing rain will be preceded by accumulating snow and ice pellets which is likely to exacerbate the hazard to motorists during the afternoon commute. Conditions will improve in the evening as temperatures rising well above zero and precipitation transitions to rain.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Utility outages may occur.
Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.
