HALIFAX – Environment Canada is warning Atlantic Canadians to clear drains and batten down outside items as high winds, heavy rains — and even some snow — get set to batter the region.
The weather agency has issued warnings for all of mainland Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and southern New Brunswick as a low pressure system moves into the region today.
Between 25 to 40 millimetres of rain is expected across the Maritimes between this afternoon and early Monday morning with a snowy mix possible in some areas, especially at higher elevations.
High winds are also expected, with gusts of up to 100 kilometres per hour possible in western Cape Breton.
Northumberland Ferries is warning passengers that the ferry service between P.E.I. and Nova Scotia may be cancelled because of wind Monday morning.
In Newfoundland, winds could reach 130 kilometres per hour in the Wreckhouse area overnight.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 3, 2026.
