Mainland Nova Scotia's primary weather radar station is about to be retired, leaving a void in the forecasting toolbox for the province and part of Prince Edward Island for several months. Radar stations in Maine, New Brunswick and Cape Breton will provide some information about weather heading toward Nova Scotia, said Snoddon. The new radar station is expected to be back online before the time of year when hurricanes typically threaten the Maritimes. The Holyrood weather radar station in Newfoundland is shown just as replacement work was getting underway. But she said she is looking forward to having more accurate weather information once the new radar system comes online.
