Environment Canada has issued special weather statements for much of the Atlantic region as a combination of snow, rain and high winds is in the forecast.

The weather agency says between 15 to 35 centimetres of snow is expected to fall across inland Nova Scotia and in elevated parts of the province, especially the Cape Breton Highlands, beginning Tuesday and into Wednesday.

Between 30 and 50 millimetres of rain along the Atlantic coast, with high winds, are expected over the same period.

In southeast New Brunswick, 10 to 15 centimetres of snow is in the forecast this afternoon and into Wednesday.

Prince Edward Island, meanwhile, is expected to get 15 or more centimetres of snow accompanied by high winds.

Beginning Wednesday in Newfoundland, between 20 and 30 centimetres of snow is forecast.
