Fredericton and Southern York County


3:26 PM AST Friday 08 February 2013

Blowing snow warning for

Fredericton and Southern York County issued

This is a warning that an extended period of blowing snow with poor visibilities is expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.

A low pressure system will intensify as it passes south of Cape Cod tonight before tracking south of Nova Scotia Saturday.

This system will give heavy snow, very strong northeast winds gusting up to 80 km/h, and blowing snow to regions along the Fundy coast. Blizzard conditions are forecast to begin near midnight in the west and spread east by Saturday morning where they will continue most of the day. Total snowfall amounts of up to 40 centimetres are expected in these regions by Saturday evening.

Further inland and away from the Fundy coast 10 to 15 centimetres of snow is forecast with winds expected to gust up to 70 km/h. These conditions will give blowing snow with reduced visibilities Saturday morning and afternoon.

Strong winds associated with this system combined with high tide will produce higher than normal water levels along the southern sections of the Gulf of St Lawrence coast Saturday evening. There is a risk of some coastal flooding around high tide Saturday night. In addition, these strong winds will push pack ice onshore into north to northeast facing shorelines.
