Heavy rainfall continues across Nova Scotia today, with Environment Canada issuing alerts for multiple counties. Some areas could see significant amounts of rain, leading to hazardous road conditions.
Cape Breton is expected to receive up to 25 mm, increasing the risk of pooling water and localized flooding. Motorists are urged to drive with caution and avoid flooded areas.
Counties under rainfall alerts include:
- Antigonish County
- Colchester County – Truro and south
- Guysborough County
- Halifax County – east of Porters Lake
- Halifax Metro and Halifax County West
- Inverness County – Mabou and north
- Inverness County – south of Mabou
- Lunenburg County
- Pictou County
- Queens County
- Richmond County
- Sydney Metro and Cape Breton County
- Victoria County
With frozen ground limiting absorption, water is likely to pool on roads, making travel difficult. Residents are encouraged to clear storm drains and monitor further updates from Environment Canada.
