Winter storm to bring strong winds, blowing snow and significant snowfall on Monday. Locations: most of Nova Scotia. Potential snowfall: 15 to 25 cm. Potential wind gusts: northeasterly 50 to 70 km/h. Time span: Sunday night until Tuesday morning. Remarks: A developing winter storm will approach the region on Sunday night. The exact track of the system still remains uncertain, but the potential exists for significant snowfall across most of the province. Strong northeasterly wind gusts will also develop on Monday, leading to reduced visibilities in blowing snow. A winter storm watch has been issued for southern Nova Scotia.
