Special Weather Statement
4:41 a.m. AST Sunday 7 December 2025

Special Weather Statement in effect for:
  • Halifax Metro and Halifax County West
Alberta clipper to bring snow and gusty winds to Nova Scotia on Monday.

Locations: all of Nova Scotia.

Potential snowfall: 5 to 15 cm, possibly higher over Cape Breton.

Strongest wind gusts: up to 70 km/h over Cape Breton.

Time span: Monday morning into Monday evening.

Remarks: Snow will begin early Monday morning over southwestern Nova Scotia and spread east across the province through the morning. The morning commute is expected to be messy, especially over central Nova Scotia, but the highest accumulations are expected over northern mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton into the afternoon.

Strong northwesterly winds will develop on Monday afternoon over Cape Breton and along the Northumberland Strait, bringing the risk for snow squalls and blowing snow at times into Monday night.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #NSStorm.
