Tropical Cyclone Information Statement from @ECCC_CHC for the Grand Banks. Main message: #Melissa expected to enhance late-week rain. While much of the wind will not be from Melissa, a closer track to N.L. (a trend on some models) could bring more direct wind impacts there. #NLwx

A thunderstorm produced some hail this earlier afternoon in East Uniacke, Nova Scotia! Thanks to Matt Ekstrom for sharing this photo. ⛈️ #NSwx #NSStorm

A weak trough over the Maritimes this weekend will trigger a chance of generally isolated showers, greatest in the east on Saturday. A cold front bringing the periods of rain and thunderstorms to N.L. will slowly depart through Saturday. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

A few showers possible in eastern Nova Scotia and northwest New Brunswick on Friday. Otherwise, looking fair. Meantime a slow-moving front will bring significant rain to eastern Newfoundland, in particular the southern Avalon through Saturday. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Thunderstorms now approaching west of Halifax with thunderstorms through parts of Hants and Colchester counties. Also some storms north of P.E.I. #NSwx #PEwx #NSStorm

Lots of lightning detected on the South Shore most recently extending from Western Head to north of Bridgewater. The line is moving east-northeast and if it holds together could push some storms into parts of HRM and Hants in the next little bit. #NSwx #NSStorm

There are some embedded thunderstorms within the showers over parts Nova Scotia’s South Shore and Annapolis Valley this evening. The most recent strikes were in and around Shelburne, northeast of Jordan Falls, and near West Dalhousie. #NSwx #NSStorm

Variable cloudiness in the region Wednesday with some drizzle and fog in Newfoundland, and a few showers along a cold front in New Brunswick. A broader pattern change will develop a trough in the jet stream over us, but it won’t result in significant rain. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Not surprising to now see exceptional drought observed in parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the latest AAFC drought update. Almost all of Atlantic Canada remains in some form of drought, worst in the Maritimes and Avalon Peninsula. The full report: agriculture.canada.ca/en/agricultu...

High pressure dominates through the upcoming long weekend, but a cold front will bring a few showers late Saturday to Newfoundland, and a coastal low to our south builds cloud cover later this weekend. A few showers could reach SW N.S. on Thanksgiving. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

As Allister said, there's a decent chance of catching aurora tonight from clear, dark skies. As always, low expectations and understand there's no guarantee. A camera will pick up lights way earlier than your eyeballs.
