Nova Scotia to slip into a deep freeze

CITYnews halifax / By Dan Ahlstrand

The weather rollercoaster continues in Nova Scotia on Monday.

The rain and above-zero temperatures that we saw for most of Sunday and through the overnight hours will taper off, and the mercury will plummet, dropping to -5C by Monday afternoon in HRM.

95-7 NewsRadio Weather Specialist Allister Aalders says the deep freeze will take over Monday night, with lows expected to hit -12C, a drop of 20 degrees from Sunday’s high of +8C. With the wind factored in during the overnight hours, it will feel like -22C.

The cold will stick around on Tuesday, with a daytime high of -14, with the wind factored in.

“The coldest day right now looks like Wednesday with a mix of sun and cloud and only a high of -11,” said Aalders. “Factoring in the winds, it will feel like -21 in the morning and -19 in the afternoon.”

Aalders says we will start to see a warm-up on Thursday, a sunny day with a high of -4C.
