Nova Scotians are dealing another blast of messy weather.
Environment Canada is out with wind and rain warnings for much of the province. It’s calling for winds to gust up to 100 km per hour and up to 40 mm of rain in some places.
“Damage to buildings, such as to roof shingles and windows, may occur,” Environment Canada says. “High winds may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break. Wind warnings are issued when there is a significant risk of damaging winds.”
The national weather forecaster predicts Halifax along with Lunenburg County east to Guysborough County and Cape Breton will see the most rain.
This system comes as power crews had a tough weekend restoring 70,000 outages after a nor-easter swept through over the weekend.
Nova Scotia Power is dealing with over 8,000 outages province-wide as of Monday night.
Halifax and Lunenburg County are also under a special weather statement due to the potential for large waves, pounding surf, and elevated water levels along the shorelines.
Environment Canada predicts the greatest impact and potential for coastal flooding will be during high tide near 8 p.m.
The national weather forecaster recommends keeping a close watch on the forecast.
Meantime, you might want to also keep a sharp eye on your flight if you have travel plans on Monday.
Many arrivals and departures are delayed at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport due to messy winter weather.
Parts of Ontario and Quebec are under blizzard and winter storm warnings. Toronto could see up to 60 cm by Monday night.
