On the East Coast, yellow snowfall warnings are in place for most of Nova Scotia. Snow is forecast to start falling Sunday evening with between 15 to 25 centimetres of accumulation expected.

The precipitation could start as rain, but will quickly change to snow by mid-evening, according to Environment Canada.

As temperatures will stay around zero Celsius, the agency cautions that many areas will see snow that could be dense, wet and difficult to clear.

Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to the snow, with utility outages possible. Environment Canada says conditions will improve on Monday morning.
