Sunny Wednesday with low-mid teens. Thursday & through the weekend a mix of sunshine and passing showers. Enjoy the sun but keep an eye on the radar. 1464
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Bands of showers or drizzle passing across the Maritimes today. Sun cloud mix with strong west winds Tuesday. Spotty onshore drizzle (showers N NB) on Tuesday. Mostly sunny Wednesday. A mix of sun and brief showers through the long weekend. 0546
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Clear skies this am; below zero in much of NB & some low spots elsewhere. Warm ocean & lakes show up nicely on IR satellite image. Showers move in overnight and spread eastward on Monday. Clears up Tuesday; spotty showers north & east. Gusty west winds. Decent amount fair weather into Thanksgiving. 0488
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Showers along the cold front has moved offshore. A fine weekend with seasonable highs in the teens. Showers redevelop over the Maritimes Monday morning; clearing and gusty southwest winds Tuesday. Thanksgiving weekend looks OK... a mix of sun and passing shower systems. 2503
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Nova Scotia the warmest area in Canada as of 4:30ADT today. Ahead of the front, southern NB and eastern PEI reached the low 20's earlier today. 9537
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Sunny breaks allow temps to rise to low-mid 20's today. A cold front with rain & drizzle moves into N NB this aftn then gradually south tonight moving offshore NS early Saturday. Cooler teens on weekend; but SW NS may reach 20C in the NW flow. Fine again Sunday. Rain or showers develop Sunday night 1463
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026As commented by @kevinthecurler.bsky.social and others, the sun failed to show in Halifax. While the majority of the Maritimes saw sunshine and low-mid 20's, the Fundy and much of the Atlantic coasts had persistent low cloud that kept the temps in the teens. Sigh... 5321
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A couple of warm days ahead to start October. A cold front with rain moves into N NB Friday afternoon, with cooler air. t the front moves south Friday night. The weekend that follows will be cooler, but a fine sun cloud mix. Next rain Sunday night... 4407
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026September rainfalls show a transition from 50% of normal in NW NB to more than double normal in CBRM. Just patchy drizzle today, skies clear first in the west with a few 20's. Lots of 20's tomorrow and Friday to start October. A cold front passes with rain late Friday. First half October fairly dry. 3495
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Showers/drizzle persist today; ease off in N NB. Patchy drizzle in parts of NS Wednesday with at least partial clearing in the aftn. Fairly mild with a few 20's in spite of the dampness; quite a few 20's on Friday. Then a cold front with showers crosses the region Friday night. Fine & cooler weekend 2547
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026A band of rain at times heavy over SW areas at 8am gradually moves east (Halifax before noon; Sydney not til evening). Expect 25mm. Showers or drizzle persist after the rain; gradually improving in the north Tuesday then the south on Wednesday. Then a fine stretch thru the weekend. 4466
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 27/09/2026A line of downpours between Halifax and SJ this am will gradually dissipate. Otherwise just spotty showers. A band of rain at times heavy slowly crosses the S Maritimes on Monday. Showers linger Tuesday... just patchy drizzle Wednesday to end what has been a rather damp month. 9555

Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Difficult to forecast the details. The overall patern has passing rain or drizzle largely over SW NS-NB today & Sunday. Otherwise the clouds are high & thin enough to see some sun. The rain likely more widespread Monday then tapers to showers/drizzle Tuesday and just spotty on Wednesday. 2567
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Mostly fine today with high cloud thickening over the southern Maritimes. Models in better agreement on the impacts from offshore low: rain/breezy most likely Saturday over SW NS; just showers/drizzle elsewhere S Maritimes on weekend. Showers more widespread Monday then gradually ease Tues-Wed. 3576
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Clear & cool as the sun rises.. then warms up with 20C likely inland NB; possible in NS & PEI. The models inconsistent with the forecast of an ocean storm to our SW on the weekend. The CDN model (attached) is the most pessimistic: breezy & damp late Friday into Tuesday over much of the region. 46010
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Sunshine continues for another few days. Frost becoming less likely later in the week... and 20's more likely tomorrow and perhaps Friday. The ocean storm still forecast to move along the eastern seaboard of USA. Rain & breezy east winds move into at least the southern Maritimes on the weekend. 6619

Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Quite a bit of sunshine between now and Friday. Sun obscured at times by high cloud. Teens in the afternoons; single digits and inland frost overnight. A storm near Cape Cod late week threatens the south and west with rain and wind. TBD. 2466
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Light showers clear first over the SW to a sun cloud mix this aftn. Elsewhere spotty showers may linger (see pics). Tuesday to Thursday: expect lots of sunshine; teens during the day & single digits at night. A low pressure system develops near Cape Cod late week may spread rain & wind over the SW. 3484
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Fine today with high cloudiness. A few showers develop this evening N NB spreading over the southern Maritimes overnight. Meanwhile a band of rain may clip the Atlantic coast. Showers become spotty Monday afternoon with a few sunny breaks developing. Mostly sunshine Tuesday-Thursday. 2537
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Sunny, breezy & cool today. NW winds more gusty off the Gulf, with clouds & spotty showers (see sat pic). With clear skies & light winds tonight, frost is a threat in all but SW areas. Fine Sunday. Showers develop in N NB in the aftn, and spread across the region Sunday night; pulling out Monday. 4596
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Rain at times heavy mostly over Mainland NS this am tapers to showers this aftn with partial clearing in the west. A breezy cool Saturday.

Félicitations Rachelle; game changer! 1421
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Nice today with increasing high cloud. Rain over the southern Maritimes gradually tapers to showers from west to east Friday. Skies clear with breezy northwest wind & cooler temperatures Saturday (shower chances persist Inverness County). Expect a few rainfalls of 20mm, which we don't need :-) 3473

Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 15/09/2026A few nice days ahead... sunshine with high teens to low 20's. Low humidity, so expect more single digits inland tonight. Showers develop Thursday night then move out Friday as cooler breezy air moves in. 4617
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Heavy rain moves out of eastern areas this morning. I had 49mm in my gauge this morning; I expect quite a few spots along the Atlantic coast have 50mm totals.There will be sunny breaks or sun-cloud mix developing. Spotty showers more likely NB. Decent week ahead; main shower chances Thurs night. 3475
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Nice sunny start today; then increasing high cloudiness. A few showers late aftn or eve NB.

Decent week ahaead; showers & wind most likely on Friday. 3568
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Some single digit temps early this am; esply in NB where Edmundston dropped to zero! Most places reach seasonably high teens to low 20's with sunshine this aftn. Cloud thickens first over NB on Sunday with late day rain. The rain spreads eastward Sunday night then moves out of NB & W NS Monday am. 5524
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Multi-model outlook into late September: looks like a manageable weather pattern. Looking forward to a fine weekend. Rather humid with rain late Sunday into Monday. Then fine with some showers later in the week. Temps cool off after the rain events; and will feel like Fall when Autumn arrives . 2578
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Rain at times heavy just moving into Halifax at 6:30am. The rain leaves NB and western NS this morning; ends in HFX and PEI near noon; and finally eastern NS during the afternoon. Skies clear and all but CB will have a chance to see some 20s this afternoon. A mostly fine weekend as well. 6547
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Quite a bit of sunshine today. Low clouds (a few sprinkles) in the east dissipate; high clouds in the west thicken up. Rain moves into NB overnight then spreads across PEI & NS Thursday morning. Rain tapers to showers then clearing in the west. Expect 15-25mm. This sets us up for a nice weekend. 1515
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026A band of showers over S NB-PEI moves into NS this am. A few showers linger over eastern areas this aftn with sun-cloud mix elsewhere.

Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Showers or drizzle are weakening, but lingering over eastern areas today. Sunny breaks over the west. More showers re-develop Tuesday. Fine Wednesday. Then a band of rain at times heavy moves in Thursday (15-25mm?). Thank goodness it looks like a decent weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 6525
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 06/09/2026While no weather model is perfect, the High Resolution Canadian model was predicting the risk of 200+mm. The area of 100+mm was also pretty well forecast. This model will likely be the basis for the ECCC planned upcoming point forecast product. 26714
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Rain or drizzle persisting over all but extreme western areas today. Eases off with sun in the west Monday. The equivalent of 2-3 months of rainfall over parts of CB this weekend has resulted in extensive flash flooding (reminder, Canada still does not have a flash flood warning program!). Sigh. 47715
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Cape Breton Mesonet rainfall totals are quite remarkable this morning.... with at least another 50mm on the way. I expect there is a lot of flooding... do not drive onto water covered roads. sigh 85811
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Over 100mm yesterday parts of PEI & CB. Still heavy rain today, that's shifting westward into parts NB & W NS (see pics). I have a total of 66mm so far; expecting another 20mm today. The rain becomes more showery Sunday. Drizzle persists PEI & eastern NS Monday. A band of showers Tuesday. Fine Wed. 2576

Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Almost 50mm in my gauge from last night's rain! The heavy rain over the central & eastern Maritimes today persists thru Saturday then starts to taper off Sunday. The models still have a 100-200mm risk from PEI to the Strait region of Eastern NS. Monday will be a fine day. Showers Tuesday. Fine Wed. 96314
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Note that weather models are forecasting areas of heavy rain (exceeding 100mm) between now & Saturday evening. Note that the Canadian high resolution model is has over 200mm in the Guysborough-Strait region. While extreme rain is hard to predict, these values would cause dangerous flash floods!! 25816
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Spotty rain precedes the steady heavy rain moving into western areas this aftn. The rain slowly crosses the Maritimes tonight & Friday then tapers to showers/drizzle first in western areas. Showers or drizzle ease off Sunday.Gusty NE winds. CDN model has a swath of 80-100+mm PEI-E NS. Nice Monday. 5438
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Lots of sun today.. Spotty aftn showers develop along Atlantic coast. Clouds thicken up gradually on Thursday. Rain moves in Thursday night. Rain & gusty northeast winds persist Friday and ease off Saturday. Total rainfalls in excess of 50mm seems most likely eastern Maritimes. Fine Sunday-Monday. 4515
Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The multi-model outlook for first half of September suggests highs remain largely in the low 20's. The most significant rain forecast for Friday with drizzle persisting for a day or two afterwards. Only a few spots with below normal rainfall in August... but quite a few above normal values (in red). 0456
