A break in the unsettled pattern across the region for Thursday. However, another system similar to today’s moves in through Good Friday with a mix of snow, ice and rain. Another system set for Easter Sunday! A very active early-spring pattern. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
The 12Z Euro ensembles show a strong Bermuda high around 1030 mbar, along with a very strong Arctic high around 1040 mbar over Hudson's Bay, with a weak low-pressure system between them on Friday night.
The 12Z Euro ensembles show a 1035 Arctic high over Ontario, along with a 1038 mbar Azores Bermuda high, with a 1009 low between them on Wednesday morning.
The first week of April could have not one, but potentially two ice storms across Atlantic Canada, with the Wed one likely being farther north than the Fri one.
A strong Azores Bermuda high south of a strong Arctic high is a classic setup for warm air aloft & cold surface air. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx
A mix of sun and cloud in the Atlantic region this weekend with a chance of some scattered, often isolated flurries. Offshore low could brush parts of the eastern Avalon with light snow Saturday night. Temperatures though will be much cooler than average! #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
A trough and cold front will bring some scattered flurries/bursts of snow with a chance of a shower as it crosses the region Wednesday. Otherwise some sun in the mix. Unsettled weather expected to end the week. The full forecast: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
Estimate of the snowpack moisture content as of Monday morning and the predicted snowpack by the end of Tuesday afternoon. Add this estimated melt to the forecast rainfalls to get an idea of total 'water'. #nswx #pewx #nbwx
Rain mixes to snow in Nova Scotia, P.E.I., and southeast New Brunswick overnight which could make for a slick drive to work. Clearing on Friday. The front will also mix rain to snow for Newfoundland on Friday. The full forecast: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
Early spring conditions today ... here are temperatures (C) around 12:30 pm. Up to 17C/63F so far. #nswx #pewx

A fair start to the weekend for most of the region - a few isolated flurries in NL and some rain-snow along a front in northern New Brunswick. That front will bring flurries/snow to the rest of the Maritimes later Sunday. Offshore low for SE NL. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky
Lots of sunshine across the Maritimes on Friday but cooler temperatures than today. An offshore low will brush the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland with some rain showers and wet snow, with a chance of flurries through central/western Newfoundland. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
Weather system this evening/tonight moving across NS and PEI. Here are the amounts of snowfall (blue shades map, cm) and rain showers (green shades map, mm) to expect based on one weather model (HRDPS). #nswx #pewx
Looking at the 12Z EPS (the story is similar on the CMC and GFS ensembles), it looks like we'll have a tumultuous temperature ride over the next couple weeks, from mid-January cold in the 1st week of March to a taste of spring in the 2nd week. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
Some sun in the Maritimes Wednesday, but a quick round of snow Wednesday night with 1-5 cm, pockets of 5-10 cm. Scattered flurries linger for Newfoundland, the snow then comes in Thursday. The full update: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky
Snow reports from CoCoRaHS volunteers: Widespread 15 to 30 cm from most observers in NS, PEI, and south/eastern NB. Drifting a factor in many cases - volunteer in Newcombeville measured 13 cm to 64 cm! Thanks to the volunteers for their dedication to reporting! #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #halisky
No shortage of weather to talk about with some snow in the region this weekend and a developing nor'easter set to move into the region early next week. The full outlook here: www.facebook.com/share/p/18Ff... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky
Quite a bit of sunshine in most of the Maritimes Friday but considerable variation in temperature - near/above freezing in the south, below freezing in the north. Sun in the mix for Newfoundland but onshore flurries/snow for the west coast. Watching low to our south Saturday. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
Lingering flurries over parts of the north and east in the Maritimes tonight into Thursday while a storm continues for parts of Newfoundland. Improving in the Maritimes tomorrow with lingering snow/flurries for eastern/central N.L. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
A weak low will bring flurries and light snow to the Maritimes Saturday night-Sunday. Trace-5cm for most but areas of 5-15 cm possible in the east. Otherwise a fair long weekend. Scattered flurries and light snow will persist for NL with trace-5cm. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
Aside from some clouds in parts of the east, almost a completely clear view of the Maritimes from space today! You can see the snow and the ice in the larger lakes and in parts of the Northumberland Strait and Gulf of St. Lawrence. ❄️🧊 🛰️ #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #halisky
Super high-resolution Sentinel satellite image over the Confederation Bridge from Friday Feb 6th. The ice movement is from the NW (upper left) and the segmentation of the ice flowing through the bridge piers can be seen SE of the bridge. #nbwx #pewx
Lots of sunshine in most of the Maritimes on Friday, a bit slow to clear in Cape Breton. Lingering flurries mixed with showers/drizzle for Newfoundland with sea enhanced snow on the west coast. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #Halisky
