A low pressure system developing south of the Great Lakes is forecast to pass just south of Nova Scotia Monday night bringing a mixed bag of precipitation to most of mainland Nova Scotia. The precipitation associated with this low will start early Monday afternoon over southwestern sections of the province and move northeastward reaching Cape Breton by early Monday evening.

Latest indications are that central and northern Nova Scotia will receive a mixture of snow and ice pellets with amounts possibly exceeding 15 centimetres by Tuesday morning. Meanwhile over southwestern Nova Scotia precipitation will start as snow before changing to ice pellets mixed with freezing rain and then to rain.

The public is advised to monitor future forecasts in case warnings are required.
