A low-pressure system will sweep a series of weather fronts across the region Friday into Saturday. The fronts bring rain along with a risk of downpours and embedded thunderstorms. The system has had a history of producing thunderstorms and downpours as it has moved across the southern United States.
The first round of rain to arrive Thursday night into Friday morning will be light-to-moderate in intensity. A second band of rain arrives into western parts of the Maritimes Friday afternoon. That rain progresses eastward across the region Friday night into Saturday morning. Patchy drizzle and fog is expected in between the periods of rain.
That second round of rain carries the higher risk of downpours with it. The risk of downpours is highest for southern New Brunswick and for Nova Scotia. While a general 10-to-40 mm rainfall is expected across much of the Maritimes, pockets of totals 40-to-80 mm are possible in southern New Brunswick and for the Atlantic coastal counties of mainland Nova Scotia into Cape Breton, with the exception of northern Inverness County.
The downpours and higher rainfall totals bring a risk of localized flooding. Higher rainfall rates can also reduce visibility and contribute to hydroplaning conditions on the roads. A Rainfall Warning has been issued by Environment Canada for the Atlantic coastline of mainland Nova Scotia.
