Buckle up. The next few days will be a wild ride when it comes to the weather here in the Maritimes.

CBC Meteorologist Ryan Snoddon warns the afternoon and evening commute may be slow going with greasy and slick roads.

In the short term, rounds of rain will continue to move over eastern areas, with additional precipitation of 40 to 80 millimetres possible through Wednesday and Wednesday night.

Yet another storm system will cross eastern North America over the next few days, bringing with it a mix of snow, rain, ice and strong winds.

Snow will move into Nova Scotia from southwest to northeast throughout Tuesday afternoon, just in time for the commute home.

Meteorologist Ryan Snoddon says folks across much of Nova Scotia should prepare for winter driving conditions with periods of snow Friday evening that continue right into Monday.

CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon says the incoming storm will bring the risk of localized flooding, followed by a quick freeze as temperatures plummet.

Experts are expecting 2024 will be an active season with 17 to 25 storms, the most ever forecasted.

The storm will be rather large as it moves through Atlantic Canadian waters and some outer bands of rain and downpours may track into the Maritimes on Monday.

A weather system with some tropical characteristics will bring heavy rain and some gusty winds to Nova Scotia on Saturday.
