Significant rainfall is expected.

Locations: Halifax, Lunenburg, Queens, and Shelburne Counties.

Potential rainfall: 30 to 50 mm, or more in heaviest showers.

Time span: beginning this evening, continuing until Friday evening.

Remarks: An approaching low pressure system is expected to bring a period of intense rainfall. Thundershowers may develop over some areas, producing locally heavier rainfall. There is some uncertainty as to where the highest rainfall amounts will occur, but the potential exists for significant totals over some locations along the Atlantic coast.

Rainfall warnings may be required as this event draws nearer.

Localized ponding/pooling may occur in low-lying areas or locations with poor drainage. Creeks and smaller rivers may rise quickly and overflow their banks. Clear storm drains and gutters of leaves and other debris in advance of the rainfall.
