Environment Canada has issued special weather statements for the Atlantic coastal counties of Nova Scotia reaching from Yarmouth to Guysborough County.
Wildfires in western Canada have necessitated evacuations for some communities and the issuance of air quality advisories due to the presence of wildfire smoke.
A weather front off a low-pressure system centred over the border of Ontario and Quebec has brought downpours and winds to the Maritimes gusty enough to create some power outages.
With a ridge of high pressure building in from the west, just a few clouds and some fog patches are expected Friday night followed by largely fair weather for the weekend ahead.
