Miramichi and area
4:56 AM AST Saturday 11 February 2012
Snowfall warning for
Miramichi and area issued
15 cm of snow expected by Sunday morning.
This is a warning that significant snowfall is expected in this region. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.
An elongated trough of low pressure will move southward across the province today to lie over Nova Scotia by evening. A low pressure system is forecast to develop and intensify as it moves northeastward along the trough crossing Cape Breton Sunday morning before reaching the Quebec north shore Sunday afternoon.
Flurries and showers over Southern New Brunswick this morning will change to snow this afternoon as the low approaches. Snowfall amounts of up to 30 cm are forecast for Southeastern New Brunswick and up to 15 cm are forecast for regions to the west. Gusty winds tonight will combine with the snow to give reduced visibilities in blowing snow. The snow will reach the northeastern corner of the province this evening and continue overnight giving near 15 cm for some regions. Northwestern New Brunswick will only see a couple of centimetres of snow from this system. The snow will taper to flurries over all regions by morning as the low moves away from the province and weather conditions improve.
The strong winds associated with the storm will give rough and pounding surf to most coastlines of the Gulf of St Lawrence on Sunday. They will also generate a storm surge which will combine with large tides to give higher than normal water levels. This could lead to rafting of sea ice along coastal areas from Point Escuminac south to Cape Tormentine. High water level warnings may be required at a later time. Please monitor future forecasts for any updates.
Please refer to the latest public forecasts for further details.
