Winter storm to bring strong winds, blowing snow and significant snowfall on Monday.
Locations: most of Nova Scotia.
Potential snowfall: 15 to 25 cm.
Potential wind gusts: northeasterly 50 to 70 km/h.
Time span: Sunday night until Tuesday morning.
Remarks: A developing winter storm will approach the region on Sunday night. The exact track of the system still remains uncertain, but the potential exists for significant snowfall across most of the province. Strong northeasterly wind gusts will also develop on Monday, leading to reduced visibilities in blowing snow.
A winter storm watch has been issued for southern Nova Scotia.
Snow accumulation may make travel slow or hazardous. Roads and walkways could become slippery and difficult to navigate.
Plan ahead in case schools or scheduled activities are cancelled.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #NSStorm.

We’re monitoring two weather events this weekend: cold temperatures expected to settle in tonight (Friday, Jan. 23) and last for several days, and a potential weather system that could bring snow and service impacts late Sunday into Monday.
For cold temperatures, residents are encouraged to take extra care by dressing warmly, avoiding prolonged exposure outdoors and checking in on those who may be especially vulnerable. Bring pets indoors. There is increased capacity at some shelters to ensure additional emergency beds are available.
For potential snow events, monitor the forecast and ensure you have an emergency kit with enough food, water, and medication to last at least 72 hours. If driving, thoroughly clear off your vehicle and allow extra time to arrive safely at your destination. Sign up for hfxALERT to receive urgent and non-urgent alerts: halifax.ca/hfxalert
