#Ernesto is likely to move into Canadian waters early next week, but it's still unclear if the storm will be directed closer to land or out to sea at that time. Something the @ECCC_CHC, myself, and many others are monitoring. @chronicleherald @SaltWireNews @StJohnsTelegram

Heavy rain/thunderstorms moving through Guysborough/Antigonish counties. This activity is moving NE towards Richmond Co. and southern CBRM. A narrow line of showers with embedded downpours extends back into HRM and the South Shore. @chronicleherald @capebretonpost #nsstorm

Localized line of embedded downpours and thunderstorms from near New Ross extending northeast through St. Croix, East Hants, and Truro. This activity is moving in a northeast direction. Radar also showing some cells near Upper Clyde River/Middle Ohio. @chronicleherald #nsstorm

Heat warning just posted for Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley and South Shore. I expect the alert will be expanded elsewhere in the region tomorrow and Wednesday. @chronicleherald @SaltWireNews #NSwx #NBwx

NOAA has released its outlook for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season: 17-25 named storms are expected in the Atlantic. Of those, 8-13 are expected to become hurricanes with 4-7 that could become major hurricanes. @chronicleherald @SaltWireNews #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Not quite visible to the eye, but some faint colours of the aurora borealis caught on camera from Vinegar Hill in Milford, N.S. @chronicleherald #Auroraborealis #NSwx

Weather permitting, there could be a fantastic display of the aurora borealis in Atlantic Canada overnight tonight. Canadian RDPS cloud model shows greatest opportunities for clear skies will be central/eastern Maritimes and western N.L. @chronicleherald #NSwx #NBwx #NLwx #PEwx

Lightning detected over the interior of Guysborough County. @chronicleherald #NSStorm

Here is Environment Canada's snow summary for N.S. No question that snowfall overperformed near and along parts of the Atlantic Coast where a 2-5+ cm/hr band stalled. @chronicleherald @capebretonpost #NSStorm

Nor’easter to deliver significant snow, wind to parts of Atlantic Canada saltwire.com/atlantic-canada…

Unofficial snowfall amounts between Friday and this morning: A @CoCoRaHSCanada volunteer in Sydney recording 150 cm of snow! 103 cm at YQY. 60-100+ cm for much of eastern NS and 30-70+ cm from central NS to E. P.E.I. @chronicleherald @capebretonpost @PEIGuardian #NSStorm #PEStorm

The snow is just relentless in Cape Breton. Multiple reports of 70-100+ cm in CBRM with still much more to come until later tomorrow. One has to think some serious discussions are being held at a government level right now. #nsstorm

The storm shows no signs of slowing down with bands of moderate to heavy snowfall continuing to push into eastern Cape Breton. Light/moderate snow elsewhere. Winds are a major factors blowing this snow around. @chronicleherald @capebretonpost @PEIGuardian #NSStorm #PEStorm
