Data changes will appear in CAP following this deployment, 2) the alert name ‘extreme cold warning’ will change to ‘cold warning’, 3) two Public zone names will change in Saskatchewan, 4) ECCC's initiative to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard continues, there will be changes coming to CAP and 5) 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 – novembre 2025: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue.

This statement is in effect for parts of the coast due to the following hazard(s): Very high tides. Higher than normal water levels. Locations: Yarmouth County to Halifax County. Time span: Monday morning near the high tide. Remarks: A pronounced storm surge occurring with high tide has the potential to raise water levels well above the highest astronomical tide. Coastal erosion may occur in vulnerable locations. Avoid affected shorelines where hazardous conditions may develop. People in coastal areas should monitor conditions closely in case they begin to worsen. ### 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. For more information about the alerting program, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/environment/weather/severeweather/weather-alerts/colour-coded-alerts.
