Good Evening! Was a cold one today, with on and off snow squalls. But now as the evening goes on, we are seeing clearing skies according to radar and satellite and much of the flurries and squalls that remain are now over mainland Nova Scotia and even those are beginning to taper off. As temperatures drop and skies get dark we’ll see the chance of flurries diminish. In fact FutureCAST shows that any flurries that occur on the coast late this evening will diminish overnight tonight, and high pressure takes over to bring us gorgeous sunshine for tomorrow, Saturday and even much of Sunday will be dry, however we will see more clouds Sunday with a chance of showers in the late afternoon hours. That system on Sunday is a fast moving system currently over the 4 corner states. This system will develop rapidly over next 48 hours as it intensifies over the jet stream. Timing of that system: Sunday 8pm: Rain or Rain/snow mix beginning on the coast, a few flurries inland. 11pm: Rain spreads into all of the Tri-counties. Monday 2am: Rain continues.. Monday 5am: Rain continues, begins to be a lighter intensity as the system moves farther away. Monday 8am: Rain tapers to showers. Monday 11am: Clearing skies. How much rainfall? As of now, looks like between 10 and 20mm. Now, not only will see some rain and snow/mix, but one of the biggest threats is the winds! We are looking at wind gusts reaching in excess of 90 to 110km/h Sunday night into Monday. Forecast wind Gusts: Sunday 2pm: Yarmouth: 56km/h, Digby: 36km/h, Shelburne: 46 km/h Sunday 5pm: Yarmouth: 60km/h, Digby: 39km/h, Shelburne: 52km/h Sunday 8pm: Yarmouth: 65km/h, Digby: 45km/h, Shelburne: 58km/h Sunday 11pm: Yarmouth: 81km/h, Digby: 80km/h, Shelburne: 68km/h Monday 2am: Yarmouth: 89km/h, Digby: 97km/h, Shelburne: 90km/h Monday 5am: Yarmouth: 61km/h, Digby: 75km/h, Shelburne: 81km/h Monday 8am: Yarmouth: 50km/h, Digby: 46km/h, Shelburne: 56km/h So Winds become to be quite Gusty by Sunday afternoon but will be at it’s strongest Sunday late evening and overnight into Monday ( 11pm-2am) where winds will Gusts between 90 and 110km/h, highest along the coast. Biggest threats with this storm is the slick roads, and high winds! Very little threat of snow and ice. After our Sunday Night storm, we are dry Monday afternoon before our next system arrives Monday night into Tuesday. And then more nice weather Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will be more warmer next week also! With many days reaching between 4 and 8 degrees, even warmer by the end of next week into next weekend! With temperatures likely reaching mid-teens! ~ Chief Forecaster James |
