Rain, at times heavy, and strong winds are expected on Halloween. Locations: the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia from Yarmouth to Ecum Secum. Total rainfall: 50 mm, except up to 75 mm in areas of heaviest rain. Maximum wind gusts: east to southeasterly up to 70 km/h. Time span: Friday morning until Friday afternoon. Remarks: The heaviest rain will taper off to isolated showers by early Friday afternoon in the southwest and by late afternoon as you head eastward toward Halifax County. Strong southeasterly winds are expected to accompany the rainfall. In the afternoon winds will ease before strengthening again in the evening from the southwest. Clear storm drains and gutters of leaves and other debris prior to the rainfall to help reduce flooding. Secure outdoor items, including Halloween decorations and garbage bins, to prevent them from being displaced or damaged by strong winds. Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Local utility outages are possible. Rainfall warnings are issued when significant impacts are expected due to rainfall amounts.
