Powerful Storm to Bring Flash Freeze, School Closures in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick

Wind and rainfall warnings issued as provinces face localized flooding and power outages.

Nova Scotia and New Brunswick brace for a powerful storm bringing strong winds, heavy rain, and a rapid temperature drop, leading to flash freeze conditions.
Environment Canada has issued wind and rainfall warnings for both provinces, with gusts potentially exceeding 100 km/h and rainfall reaching up to 100 millimetres in some areas.
Localized flooding and power outages are expected due to the combination of heavy rain, melting snow, and strong winds.
Temperatures are set to plummet rapidly, causing water and slush to freeze, increasing the risk of icy conditions on roads and walkways.
School closures have been announced in four districts in New Brunswick due to the storm's impact, with over 7,000 customers without power.
