Special Weather Statement

▶

9:47 p.m. AST Saturday 31 January 2026

Special Weather Statement in effect for:

Halifax Metro and Halifax County West

Snow and strong winds are expected later Sunday into Monday.

Potential snowfall: 10 to 20 cm, locally higher amounts possible.

Potential wind gusts: north to northeasterly 70 to 80 km/h.

Time span: beginning late Sunday afternoon or early evening. Snow tapering to flurries from west to east Monday morning.

Impacts: Travel conditions will gradually deteriorate Sunday evening due to accumulating snow, strengthening winds and blowing snow.

Local utility outages are possible due to heavy snow and strong winds.

Remarks: Recent computer guidance has been trending to reduce the amount of snow expected in the above areas. However, there is not strong agreement and even a slight shift back would still bring an impactful snowfall for these areas. The system is just now in the early stage of development and its evolution will be very closely monitored.

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.
