According to the statements, which were in effect for much of central, northern and eastern Nova Scotia, there could be total rainfall amounts of 50 millimetres, with locally higher amounts of 100 millimetres possible. “Rain is expected to intensify this morning and will become heavy, at times, with embedded thunderstorms.
