Another winter blast is on the way to Nova Scotia.
Environment Canada has issued several warnings, including special weather statements, winter storm and blowing snow warnings across the province.
Winter storm warnings have now been issued for areas including Halifax, Bridgewater, Yarmouth, Cumberland and Colchester counties. Port Hawkesbury and the surrounding areas are currently under special weather statements.
An intense low pressure system is expected to pass south of Nova Scotia on Monday night. Snow ahead of the system will spread across southwestern Nova Scotia late Monday morning and into northwestern Nova Scotia in the afternoon.
Environment Canada says conditions will begin to deteriorate on Monday, with the system moving through the province by Tuesday morning.
Strong northeast winds will range between 60 and 90 km/h, with the higher gusts in the western half of the province.
Visibility is expected to be reduced due to blowing snow.
Higher than normal water levels are also expected along the Atlantic coast on Monday night.
Snowfall amounts of between 15 and 25 centimetres are predicted across Nova Scotia.
It’s advised that you plan ahead and watch for closures or cancellations.
