Service Notice – February 2026: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For 2026, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's initiative to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard is tentatively set for Spring 2026 deployment. Data changes will appear in CAP following this deployment and 2) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – février 2026: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour 2026, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) l’initiative d’ECCC visant à introduire des polygones libres pour représenter la véritable zone de menace d’un danger météorologique devrait être déployée provisoirement au printemps 2026. Des changements de données apparaîtront dans le PAC à la suite de ce déploiement et 2) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Significant rainfall is expected. Locations: Guysborough County and most of Cape Breton Island. Potential rainfall: 30 to 50 mm, possibly more in heaviest showers. Time span: beginning this evening, continuing until Friday night. Remarks: An approaching low pressure system is expected to bring a period of intense rainfall. Thundershowers may develop over some areas, producing locally heavier rainfall. There is some uncertainty as to where the highest rainfall amounts will occur, but the potential exists for significant totals over some locations. Rainfall warnings may be required as this event draws nearer. Localized ponding/pooling may occur in low-lying areas or locations with poor drainage. Creeks and smaller rivers may rise quickly and overflow their banks. Clear storm drains and gutters of leaves and other debris in advance of the rainfall. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #NSStorm.
