Special weather statement in effect for:

• Fredericton and Southern York County

Another fall storm expected to bring snow and rain to the province on Friday.
A low pressure system will develop off the East Coast of the United States tonight and strengthen as it tracks northeastward through the Bay of Fundy to lie over the Gulf of St Lawrence Friday evening. This system is expected to bring snow to northern regions of the province by Friday morning and rain to southern regions. Snowfall warnings have been issued for central areas of Northern New Brunswick where 15 to 25 centimetres of snow is expected on Friday. Over southern regions 20 to 30 millimetres of rain is forecast with 2 to 4 centimetres of snow expected after the rain changes to snow late Friday. Should the track of the low change, the area of heavy snow could expand and thus warnings may have to be extended.
The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warnings may be required or extended.

Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at www.weatheroffice.gc.ca.

Snowfall warning in effect for:

• Grand Falls and Victoria County

Snowfall, with total amounts of 15 to 25 cm is expected.

A low pressure system approaching from the southwest will track across the Bay of Fundy on Friday. Snow is expected to begin early Friday morning and continue through the day giving 15 to 25 centimetres. Snowfall amounts may be considerably less along the Bay of Chaleur coast where precipitation may fall primarily as rain or a rain-snow mix. The snow is expected to taper to flurries Friday night.
Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Public Safety Canada encourages everyone to make an emergency plan and get an emergency kit with drinking water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight.
