Residents in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, should prepare for a messy mix of weather this Saturday, March 14, 2026, as a system bringing both snow and rain is expected to move through the region. The day will likely begin with several centimetres of snow before temperatures rise and bring rain showers.
According to Environment Canada, the morning forecast calls for 5 to 10 cm of snow. By the afternoon, the snow is expected to transition into about 5 mm of rain as the temperature reaches a high of plus 3°C.
Wind will also be a factor, with southeast winds blowing at 30 km/h and gusting up to 50 km/h near noon. These conditions may cause blowing snow or reduced visibility for those travelling in the area during the transition.
The combination of new snow and rain is expected to create slushy surfaces on local roads and sidewalks. Community members are encouraged to use caution and allow for extra travel time throughout the day.
