Prepare for slick roads as much-needed rain renews across the region heading into Sunday
A soggy and stormy Saturday across parts of the Maritimes will continue into Sunday as an active pattern continues over the region.
Beneficial rains are on the way for many areas that haven’t seen much precipitation in the past couple of weeks.

A new area of low pressure will develop along the cold front, tapping into additional moisture to bring widespread rainfall to the region heading into the day Sunday.
The threat for thunderstorms will shift into Nova Scotia, bringing the threat for heavy rainfall—especially to coastal communities and the southwestern corner of the province.
Widespread rainfall totals on the order of 5-15 mm are expected across much of Atlantic Canada, with the greatest totals across New Brunswick, coastal Nova Scotia, as well as southern and western Newfoundland.
Humidity will linger across Nova Scotia and Newfoundland despite cooler temperatures arriving behind the frontal system.
We’ll see rain push into Newfoundland for the day Monday, with temperatures trending toward seasonal soon after.
Rain should clear out of Atlantic Canada by Tuesday morning.
