A messy system is going to drench our province with more rain.
Environment Canada is out with a special weather statement for most of Nova Scotia, including the Halifax area.
The rain will begin on Monday morning with up to 40 mm expected along with strong winds.
Rainfall warnings have been issued for parts of the province still recovering from flooding last week, including Cape Breton where up to 200 mm fell.

Antigonish County is also included in the weather alert.
Residents were evacuated in the region after heavy rain resulted in flash flooding around a trailer park last Tuesday.
The Canadian Red Cross provided emergency lodging and meals to 63 people from 29 homes around the Indian Garden Trailer Park.

The cost to fix washed-out roads and bridges in the eastern region of our province is expected to top $7-million.
Houston has said it will be “at least” that amount due to the significant storm damage.
