Brace for more snow ahead
Looking ahead to the long-range forecast, meteorologists will be closely monitoring yet another storm system, a nor’easter, that could track up the U.S. Eastern Seaboard on Sunday and Monday, potentially impacting parts of Atlantic Canada once again with heavy snow.
While the atmospheric pattern supports an active storm track remaining across the East, it’s too early to determine the exact storm track and snowfall totals of this system.
Two scenarios are possible: Track 1, closer to the coast, could bring heavier snow, stronger winds, and potential blizzard conditions, with 20-30+ cm or more possible. Exact areas most affected remain uncertain.
Track 2, farther offshore, would result in lighter snow and winds, with the highest impacts staying offshore.
Residents in Atlantic Canada are encouraged to check the forecast often as weather model guidance provides more insight to forecasters ahead of next week.
