Storm passing over mainland Sunday

Enjoy the warm Saturday weather while it lasts.

A storm is passing over Nova Scotia on Sunday into the night, and bringing with it a load of rain and wind.

Environment Canada has special weather statements up for the whole mainland part of the province. Cape Breton is escaping the worst of the weather so far.

They say rainfall totals could reach between 25 and 40 mm with higher amounts possible.

Sunday will start with southeasterly winds gusting up to 70 km/h, but those will shift to northerly gusts through the day.

Some wet snow may mix in over some elevations, but they say it will not build up on the ground.

Some ares could see thunderstorms, with even heavier local rainfall.

Make sure your storm drains are cleared of any leaves or other debris, they say, and make sure your outdoor furniture is secure so it does not get thrown around in the wind.
