Active AlertsStewiacke, NS

Significant snowfall and strong winds are expected.

Locations: Nova Scotia.

Potential snowfall: 15 to 30 cm or more.

Potential wind gusts: northeasterly 60 to 80 km/h.

Time span: Sunday afternoon until Monday evening.

Remarks: A developing low pressure system is expected to bring significant snowfall and blowing snow on Sunday and Monday. There is some uncertainty as to where the heaviest snowfall will occur, but the potential exists for significant accumulations over some locations.

Snow accumulation may make travel slow or hazardous. Roads and walkways could become slippery and difficult to navigate. Strong winds accompanying the snow will cause reduced visibility in blowing snow.

Additionally, higher than normal water levels and crashing waves will coincide with a high run of tides on Monday along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia.

Consider adjusting travel plans to avoid the most hazardous conditions.

Make sure snow removal equipment (e.g., shovels or blowers) and supplies are prepared in advance.
