Elevated water levels and wave activity are possible. Locations: Atlantic coastlines of Shelburne, Queens, Lunenburg and Halifax counties. Time span: during high tide later this evening. Maximum wave heights: 5 to 7 metres, breaking upon approach to shore. Remarks: An intense low pressure system will bring very strong northeast winds and high waves to the above regions later on Monday. Storm surge combined with wave action near high tide may raise water levels above the highest astronomical tide. 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.
