Any outdoor weekend plans may need to be adjusted across Atlantic Canada, as a moisture-packed system brings with it days of persistent rain.
The Texas low will move into the region late Thursday, picking up in intensity through the day on Friday. Winds will also be gusty, making for some rather miserable spring conditions. The widespread rain will continue well into Saturday, as well.

For some of the harder hit areas, localized flooding is possible, especially with rainfall amounts approaching 100 mm by the end of the weekend. Persistent rain can also lead to increased river levels, so you'll want to be sure to keep an eye on your local flood forecasts.
Friday: Rain intensifies, strong winds pick up
The rain will begin across the Maritimes through the overnight hours on Thursday, as a Texas low drags abundant Gulf moisture into Atlantic Canada.
Rain will spread across southwestern Newfoundland through Friday afternoon.

The soggy conditions will be widespread and persistent right into the evening and overnight hours for much of Atlantic Canada.
In addition, powerful winds will pick up, especially across western Nova Scotia where gusts between 60-80 km/h are forecast. Across the rest of the Maritimes, expect winds between 50-70 km/h. Localized power outages are not out of the question as conditions get gusty.
Saturday into Sunday: Rain stays persistent
Rain remains steady through the day on Saturday, especially across eastern Nova Scotia and southwestern Newfoundland -- the areas where the heaviest totals are forecast.
Scattered rain will still continue for the rest of the Maritimes before gradually easing through the overnight hours on Saturday.
In all, between 50-75 mm of rain is expected for the hardest-hit areas of the Maritimes, with as much as 60-100 mm across southern Newfoundland.
Story continues
The persistent rain can lead to increased river levels, especially later into the weekend and early next week. You'll want to keep a close eye on the conditions in your area, and remain a safe distance from high flowing rivers and streams.
