If you’re in Atlantic Canada, you may be facing snowfall, wind or even a combination of both as multiple weather warnings are in effect for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Parts of central and northwestern New Brunswick, including Edmundston, Woodstock and Campbellton counties, are under snowfall warnings with forecasts calling for up to 15 centimetres.
According to Environment Canada, the snow will be a prolonged event with both melting and the snow becoming compacted on the ground. The largest volumes will likely fall over higher land due to slightly colder temperatures.
People are being urged to take their time when travelling as visibility is likely to be reduced.
Northern Nova Scotia will escape the snow, but forecasts call for winds gusting up to 90 kilometres an hour. Environment Canada issued wind warnings for Guysborough, Richmond and Cape Breton County, including Sydney, N.S., for Sunday afternoon and evening.
Officials say services and travel could be disrupted and people are asked to secure loose objects.

Property damage is possible in some areas.
Environment Canada also has issued a snowfall warning for Eagle River, N.L., noting the Trans-Labrador Highway from Cartwright Junction to Upper Lake Melville could see between five and 10 cm.
Higher terrain areas could see up to 15 cm of snow.
