Drivers will need to find alternate parking on Tuesday night if they usually leave their vehicle on the street.

The Halifax Regional Municipality has announced the overnight winter parking ban will be enforced in both zones, meaning no on-street parking is allowed between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m.

The decision comes as the Halifax area is forecast to see snow begin near midnight, eventually mixing with rain into Wednesday morning.

“The system is out of here by late Wednesday morning after dropping 5 to 10 cm, I think near 10 cm for most of HRM,” said CityNews meteorologist Allister Aalders. “By Wednesday afternoon, it’s sunny and up to 7 C.”

Temperatures are forecast to drop back down below zero on Wednesday night.
