A quick update on the Sunday system, with no major changes to note. Confidence is growing that a significant freezing precipitation event will occur over many parts of Nova Scotia on Sunday. Saturday will see showers or periods of rain late in the day with southwesterly winds bringing in mild temperatures during the day. Overnight a trough will push down from the north and bring with it cooler air. This will turn the showers over to freezing rain, ice pellets and snow overnig...ht beginning in the north, and will spread southward across most of NS by Sunday morning. As the warm front approaches on Sunday it will maintain this set up of precipitation across NS, with snow in the north, then ice pellets, then freezing rain, then rain furthest south. The precipitation will continue until Sunday evening when the warm front and its associated low, both move east and away from the Maritimes. Lingering flurries and temperatures below zero are expected Sunday night. No precipitation is expected Monday, and day time highs of -1 in the south to -5 C in the north are expected. No significant winds are expected with this system. During the day Sunday the following weather can be expected: Snow accumulation of 5 to 10 cm over northern areas, with 15 cm or more for northern Cape Breton Ice Pellets an extended period (12 hours or more) over Northern NS and Cape Breton Freezing Rain an extended period (12 hours or more) over an area covering most of the Annapolis Valley, Central NS, South Shore, and Eastern Shore.
