Not surprising to now see exceptional drought observed in parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the latest AAFC drought update. Almost all of Atlantic Canada remains in some form of drought, worst in the Maritimes and Avalon Peninsula. The full report: agriculture.canada.ca/en/agricultu...

A nice weekend; some high teens today, a bit cooler Sunday.
Clouds move in from the SW on Monday; chance of showers over extreme SW NS. Some models , but not all. bring the showers into Halifax Tuesday. The EU model keeps showers away til Thursday. Next weekend likely more unsettled.

High pressure dominates through the upcoming long weekend, but a cold front will bring a few showers late Saturday to Newfoundland, and a coastal low to our south builds cloud cover later this weekend. A few showers could reach SW N.S. on Thanksgiving. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

The multi-model outlook into late October predicting a fine weekend. Rain chances develop late next week, heavier amounts from the Canadian model.
Afternoon temperatures forecast to be seasonably in the teens throughout the next 2 weeks.

A cool and, for some, frosty night ahead. Brighter skies Friday for much of the Maritimes but still a chance of showers in the east. Cool for Newfoundland with some lingering showers, and possibly flurries in the morning at high elevations farther west 🥶 #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

At 6pm, the rain on the cold front has dropped 25-50+mm so far over parts of the Annapolis Valley into Northern NS. The rain will be in Halifax near 7pm... but doubt we'll see those heavy amounts. Meanwhile some tropical downpours moving onshore Guysborough county.

One of the warmest October days on record in the Maritimes.
New October provincial record set in PEI, where Stanhope hit 28.7° & tied in NB, where Kouchibouguac hit 31.1°.
A few official stations just shy of 31.1° Oct record for NS, however some unofficial spots did exceed that mark!

Still much warmer than normal across the Maritimes on Tuesday with some warmer temperatures also pushing into Newfoundland. Aside from some patchy morning fog, sunshine is in the forecast. A mid-week cold front will bring rain then cooler air. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
