Residents in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, should prepare for a messy mix of snow and rain on Saturday, March 21, 2026. According to Environment Canada, periods of snow are expected to change over to rain during the morning hours.

The community is expected to receive between 10 to 15 mm of rainfall as the weather shifts throughout the day. This transition from snow to rain will likely result in slushy road conditions and could affect local travel and outdoor plans.

Temperatures are forecast to drop to a low of -7°C on Saturday night. This sharp drop following the rain may cause moisture on the ground to freeze, leading to icy patches on roads and sidewalks into Sunday morning.
