Up to 80 mm of rain is forecast in Nova Scotia, and parts of Newfoundland and Labrador could see as much as 70 mm. The rain is expected to continue Friday and into Saturday.

No alerts are in effect for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Northern Canada. In Alberta, a snowfall warning was issued Thursday morning for the Hinton-Grande Cache area, with up to 15 cm possible Thursday and more snow in the forecast Friday, but this warning was lifted later in the day.
Air quality statements were also lifted in B.C. after some regions, including Prince George and Stuart Nechako, enacted fire bans due to dry conditions. The dust advisory was to remain in place until there was rain, dust suppression or a change in traffic patterns, Environment Canada said.
