Environment Canada’s forecast for Truro for today still includes a 30 per cent chance of flurries this morning. By noon the temperatures will be above zero so there is a 30 per cent chance of flurries or showers this afternoon. The winds will remain light out of the east at 20 kmh gusting to 40.
That chance of showers or flurries will continue through tonight. Tomorrow expect a rainy day and a wet Thursday night.
Ray of hope: next week the forecast is calling for southwest winds and double digit highs.
