avertissement de tempête hivernale en vigueur

Service Notice - September 2024: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For Fall 2024, changes are expected to include... 1) location adjustments to the new Coastal Flooding Warning Program that has been implemented back in Spring 2024, 2) Marine Warning Program and Hurricane Warning Program (for tropical cyclone information statements only) will start to use water zone splits, 3) new parameters in CAP will be created to represent the weather event's start time and the weather event's end time, 4) ECCC's initiative to upgrade the presentation of alerts into a risk-colour tiered structure is in progress. Existing elements’ values will be updated and new parameters will be added in a future release, 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 - septembre 2024: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour l’automne 2024, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) des ajustements aux zones du nouveau programme d’avertissement d’inondations côtières qui a été mis en œuvre au printemps 2024, 2) le programme d’avertissement marine et le programme d’avertissement des ouragans (seulement pour le bulletin d'information sur les cyclones tropicaux) commenceront à utiliser des divisions de zones maritimes, 3) de nouveaux paramètres seront créés dans le PAC pour représenter l'heure de début et l'heure de fin de l'événement météorologique, 4) l'initiative d'ECCC visant à améliorer la présentation des alertes en les classant selon une structure de niveaux de risque par couleur est en cours. Les valeurs des éléments existants seront mises à jour et de nouveaux paramètres seront ajoutés dans une prochaine version, et 5) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Heavy snowfall with blowing snow is expected. Total snowfall: 30 to 40 cm. Locations: The Valley and and northern Nova Scotia. Time span: This evening and persisting into Saturday evening. Remarks: Gusty northeast then northwest winds accompanying the snow will cause reduced visibility at times in blowing snow. ### Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Winter storm warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather are expected to occur together. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #NSStorm.

Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
