Widespread wind gusts of 70-80 km/h are possible across the Maritimes on Monday, with the highest gusts expected for coastal communities.
Generally, rainfall totals will remain on the lighter side, with 10-30 mm falling in the gauges by the end of the day. The greatest rainfall accumulations are expected along the coast in Nova Scotia, east of Halifax.
Rain will end from west to east heading into the evening as a front pushes across the region.
Newfoundland is next in line Tuesday
We’ll see the bulk of this system pull toward Newfoundland by Tuesday, dragging steady rainfall and gusty winds across the island through the second half of the day.
Precipitation will begin as snow in western Newfoundland before transitioning over to rain, while the rest of the island can expect rain for the duration of the system.
Gusts will grow a little stronger here than they were a day earlier down in the Maritimes, with winds possibly reaching 80-90 km/h through Tuesday evening. This could lead to a slight risk of power outages and travel issues.
