So much for a White Christmas! This just out: 3:42 PM AST Sunday 21 December 2014 Special weather statement in effect for:
Sydney Metro and Cape Breton County Rain and wind expected for Christmas. An intense weather system will track toward the Maritimes later this week. Rain will develop through the day Wednesday and become heavy at times on Christmas Day. Strong southerly winds and warm temperatures will also accompany this system. Current indications suggest that rainfall amounts and wind strength could approach or exceed warning criteria. Additionally....Tides will be running high this week so coastal water levels and waves could be a concern. Environment Canada will continue to monitor the development of this system providing updates as new information becomes available. Those planning travel or other weather-sensitive activities for later in the week are advised to monitor future forecasts for more further information. Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at www.weatheroffice.gc.ca. The days start getting longer now, leading back to summer. I like that. Happy Solstice everyone!
