Wet snow is expected over portions of central and northern Nova Scotia on Sunday. Precipitation will likely start as rain overnight tonight or early Sunday morning. However, rain is forecast to change to wet snow as the low deepens and passes south of the province.

Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
