Rainfall warning for
Halifax Metro and Halifax County West issued
25 to 30 mm rainfall expected Friday
This is a warning that significant rainfall is expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.
An intense low is forecast to move up the Bay of Fundy and then over New Brunswick on Friday. The low is expected to bring significant amounts of precipitation which will start as snow in the southwest overnight and spread northward Friday morning. The snow will change to rain and give rainfall amounts of 20 to 30 mm along the Atlantic coast.
Further north the change over will be somewhat slower resulting in up to 10 cm snow followed by about 10 to 20 mm of rain. Neither rainfall or snowfall amounts are expected to reach warning criteria but the combination will none the less result in messy and potentially hazardous driving conditions. Hence the winter storm watch.
