Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for Halifax through western Nova Scotia, calling for 40 to 60 mm of rain and up to 100 mm in localized downpours. The rain is expected to start overnight Friday and continue through Saturday morning. “An area of low pressure containing tropical moisture will bring significant rainfall to the province,” read Environment Canada’s warning. “The majority of the rain is expected to fall over a 12 hour period with rainfall rates near 25 mm per hour possible over some locations.” Similar storms in the past have caused road shoulder erosion and washouts, flooding of basements – especially in poor drainage areas – and some power outages. The national forecaster also said gusty winds will accompany the rain on Saturday and could be strong enough to break some tree branches. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Fuel prices fall again overnight in Nova Scotia next post Two-year extension to rent cap proposed by provincial government You may also like Police warn of ‘theft ring’ targeting businesses in... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 Orders now being taken for School Lunch program... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 Bridge authority sends early warning to HRM drivers... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 Family of inmate who died in Nova Scotia... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia sees slight jump in fuel prices 20 سبتمبر، 2024 مسيرة راجلة إلى أوتاوا للمطالبة بالإفراج عن سجناء... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 افتتاح فرع لِجامعة مغربية في كندا 20 سبتمبر، 2024 على بنك كندا أن يكون صارماً وشفافاً للحفاظ... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 v 20 سبتمبر، 2024 More pharmacies added to community primary care clinic... 20 سبتمبر، 2024
