4:03 PM AST Monday 08 December 2014
Rainfall warning in effect for:

• Saint John and County

Rain, at times heavy, is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.

A major weather system will affect New Brunswick starting Tuesday evening. The system will spread an area of heavy rain across the
regions. Temperatures will be near the freezing mark during the onset of the rain especially over inland areas away from the Bay of Funday resulting in patchy freezing rain. Total rainfall amounts in excess of 50 millimetres are possible through Wednesday.
Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.

Environment Canada meteorologists will update alerts as required. Stay up to date with Weatheradio or your local media. Email reports of severe weather to weatherASPC@ec.gc.ca or call 1-877-815-9900. You may tweet reports using the hashtag #NBStorm.

3:58 PM AST Monday 08 December 2014
Special weather statement in effect for:

• Grand Falls and Victoria County

Mixed precipitation expected Wednesday into Thursday. Snow on Tuesday night followed by freezing rain and then by heavy rain.
A low pressure system is forecast to develop along the Eastern Seaboard tonight and intensify as it moves northward towards New England on Tuesday. Confidence regarding the potential for freezing rain is increasing for northern parts of the province. The main impact from this system will be ice accumulation from the freezing rain and the rainfall amounts from the heavy rain which is likely later Wednesday before it ends on Thursday. However some uncertainty remains with respect to the track of the system which would impact precipitation type and amounts.

Environment Canada will continue to monitor the development of this system providing updates as new information becomes available.
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.

Special weather statement in effect for:

• Halifax Metro and Halifax County West

Significant rainfall likely Tuesday night and Wednesday.
A low pressure system is forecast to develop along the Eastern Seaboard tonight and intensify as it moves northward towards New England on Tuesday. This system will likely bring significant amounts of rain for the province. Rainfall will begin Tuesday night for western sections of the province and spread eastward on Wednesday. Some uncertainty remains with respect to the track of the system which would impact amounts.

Environment Canada will continue to monitor the development of this system providing updates as new information becomes available.
The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warnings may be required.

Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at WWW.WEATHER.GC.CA.

A low pressure system is forecast to develop along the Eastern Seaboard tonight and intensify as it moves northward towards New England on Tuesday.

3:41 PM AST Monday 08 December 2014
Freezing rain warning in effect for:

• Fredericton and Southern York County

Freezing rain is expected or occurring.

A major weather system will affect New Brunswick starting Tuesday evening. The system will spread an area of freezing rain across the regions resulting in significant ice accumulation. Temperatures will slowly rise above the freezing mark on Wednesday.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Ice build-up may cause tree branches to break. Utility outages may occur. 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.

Environment Canada meteorologists will update alerts as required. Stay up to date with Weatheradio or your local media. Email reports of severe weather to weatherASPC@ec.gc.ca or call 1-877-815-9900. You may tweet reports using the hashtag #NBStorm.
