Northeast regions of New Brunswick could potentially see total snowfall amounts up to 30 centimetres from this event. Northeast regions are also likely to see visibility reduced in blowing snow on Sunday morning potentially making travelling conditions difficult. As a result of the higher snowfalls and potential for blowing snow the snowfall warning that was previously in effect for northeast regions has been upgraded to a winter storm warning. Other regions of Eastern New Brunswick where a snowfall warning is in effect are likely to see total snowfall amounts of 15 to 20 centimetres. Lesser snowfall amounts are expected over Western New Brunswick.
