More snow on the way for Nova Scotia this weekend

CITYnewshalifax / By Mark Hodgins

It looks like winter weather is set to impact Nova Scotia for a third straight weekend.

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement on Thursday afternoon, warning of a system expected to impact the province Sunday night into Monday, bringing snow and high winds.

The national forecaster says in general, the province could see 15 to 30 centimetres or more of snow and winds in the range of 60 to 80 km/h.

“Right now it looks like periods of snow with gusty winds in the Halifax area, but this will be track dependent,” said CityNews meteorologist Allister Aalders. “A track closer to or west of Sable Island would feature a heavier snow event, while a track south and east of Sable would feature a lighter snow event.”

Aalders says both possibilities are still on the table, so it will be important to keep an eye on the forecast over the coming days.
