Maritime weather: rain, showers forecast for parts of the Maritimes [Video]

A round of rain and showers will continue across central/southern New Brunswick as well as mainland Nova Scotia Tuesday afternoon into evening. A chance of showers for northern New Brunswick, Cape Breton, and Prince Edward Island.

There is a low risk of very isolated downpours and small thunderstorms within the wet weather. The downpours may be capable of producing rain rates of between 10 and 30 mm/hr.
