Halifax, NS

Another round of snow followed by ice pellets and rain is expected late Sunday and Sunday night before ending on Monday.

A low pressure system will approach from the west on Sunday then track across southern New Brunswick Sunday night before moving into the Gulf of St. Lawrence Monday morning.

Snow will start over western areas of the province Sunday afternoon then spread eastward reaching Cape Breton on Sunday evening. The snow will change through ice pellets to rain Sunday night over western mainland Nova Scotia and over eastern mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Monday morning. Precipitation will change to flurries on Monday. It is too early to forecast exact snowfall amounts. However, it is likely that significant snowfall will occur over northern and eastern areas of the province before the changeover. All areas will have a period of reduced visibilities in snow and blowing snow over exposed areas before the changeover.
