In preparation for the wild weather expected Thursday, Nova Scotia Power said it will be stationing power line and forestry crews across the province starting Wednesday evening. The storm will approach from the south, with snow developing Thursday morning in southwest Nova Scotia and spreading northward, according to the national weather service. That snow could change over to rain in parts of Nova Scotia later in the day.

Nova Scotia is more likely to get easterly winds Thursday afternoon with gusts near 90 km/h along the coast.
