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 Electric buses hit Halifax streets as Ragged Lake... 22 مايو، 2025 Chignecto Isthmus case waste of Nova Scotia Court... 22 مايو، 2025 Fishing hooks, pipe used in Eastern Passage assault:... 22 مايو، 2025 Court ruling saves century-old Halifax heritage home from... 22 مايو، 2025 Daughter of historical hit-and-run victim speaks out in... 22 مايو، 2025 مشاركة كندا في ’’القبة الذهبية‘‘ غير محدَّدة التفاصيل... 22 مايو، 2025 أربعة دبلوماسيين كنديين ضمن الوفد الذي تعرض لنيران... 22 مايو، 2025 نصب تذكاري جديد للمهاجر اللبناني في هاليفاكس 21 مايو، 2025 محادثات بين تركيا و’’كاندو‘‘ الكندية لبناء محطتيْن للطاقة... 21 مايو، 2025 كيبيك تطلب دعم الحكومة الفدرالية لمواجهة أزمة مياه... 21 مايو، 2025
