Good Soup Tuesday morning y'all!
Wow, compared to yesterday morning, It is balmy out there! especially on the south coast where we are now currently at around 3 to 5 degrees.
There is still some colder air in the northern parts of the province but not so bad as yesterday!
Today will be a bit milder! We do have a lot of clouds in the forecast for today and the next several days.
Winds are light this morning and will remain light through the day today and into the middle to later part of the week! Baccaro Point currently a breezy spot with a sustained wind of 22 km/h.
Your Hour by hour, Out the door day planner & the School bus stop forecast, is next at 6 O'clock! along with the not to shabby 5-day Regional forecast and 7 days Halifax forecast!
We also do have some snow out there this morning that have started not too long ago towards the TCH 101 From Digby County all the way towards Kentville, Wolfville, and Hantsport. So if out there this morning, take some extra time and drive slow!

Traffic & weather updates on the hour til 9 AM!
Good morning, James here for Instant Weather NS Rise 'n Shine, every morning from 5am to 9am!
Taking a look at the radar first! We do have some snow in the west from East of Digby County all the way towards Annapolis and Kings county. so much of the 101 is slick if heading or coming from there between Digby and Kings. Snow should taper off in a little bit, but we do keep the chance of flurries in the forecast for those areas, along with much of Halifax and north! A little more on the forecast coming up in the next hour.
Hour by Hour forecast, looking at cloudy skies this morning, some breaks in the clouds as we head towards noon, and then as we get into the evening hours, we'll see some of that shower and flurry chance before it clears up and gets much colder later this evening.
Day planner forecast, Look at a rather cloudy day, a chance of flurries later on in the afternoon. A milder day! Because of the clouds, the cool NW wind, and the chance of flurries. going to give this a C- grade today! Better than a D or F!
Out to the bus stop! looking at a much milder morning! compared to -10's yesterday morning. However more cloud cover! Temperatures around 2 degrees on the plus side as you head to the bus stop!
Coming up in the next half hour at 7am, we'll have the latest weather conditions and Traffic updates and at 8am, the latest on your detailed weather forecast!
