Fair fall weather after Maritime rain [Video]

A much-needed round of rain continues to clear the Maritimes Friday night. A fair, very seasonable fall weekend is expected behind the wet weather.

Weekend weather

The low-pressure system bringing the region a soggy Friday moves to a position east of Sable Island on Saturday, putting the Maritimes in a breezy northerly wind Saturday.

The region can expect cloud periods intermixed with sunny breaks. The cloud is accompanied by a 30 to 40 per cent chance of showers for communities in eastern New Brunswick, northern/eastern Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Afternoon high temperatures will be very close to average for late September, ranging 16-to-19 degrees.

High pressure building in out of the northeastern United States will make for a lovely Sunday in the Maritimes. There will be more of a fair weather mix of sun and cloud with high temperatures climbing into a range of 17-to-21 degrees.
