#NSStorm A slow moving, retrograding low pressure system paired with a plethora of tropical moisture will create the perfect opportunity for long lasting torrential downpours that could very well exceed 20mm/hr in parts of the province, particularly for areas east of Halifax.

In light of the recent decision to change the name of Lake Ontario, we’ll now be referring to the Gulf of Maine as the Gulf of Nova Scotia. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Some moderate rainfall has pushed its way into western Nova Scotia and is now reaching #Halifax a little earlier than anticipated. Rain will continue to push east into the rest of the mainland throughout the day and there is a risk of embedded thundershowers later on. #NSStorm

A minor system will cross just to the south of the region beginning late tomorrow and into the overnight hours, potentially leading to localized gusty winds and pockets of 20-30mm of rainfall, perhaps slightly more in areas where thundershowers develop. #NSStorm #NBStorm

An extremely rare 30° day in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia today! This is just the 6th time the town has hit 30° since 1871 (154 years). Today's 30.4° is the first time to reach the mark in the month of June. The other 5 occurrences were in July (1911, 1968, 1977, 1993 & 2013) #nswx #halisky

Many stations closing in on the mid 30s before 3pm... Windsor and surrounding areas take the top spot right now at 35°C! With a couple more hours of heating to go in one of the longest days of the year it looks very likely many records will get broken today. #NSStorm #NSwx

Gust of 153km/h! I looked at the Confederation Bridge camera: at 3:04pm, it was nasty on the bridge! Later you see motorcycles, high sided vehicles and travel trailers crossing. Indeed a severe thunderstorm! www.youtube.com/watch?embeds...
