Special weather statement in effect for:

• Fredericton and Southern York County

Freezing rain expected tonight. Significant snow possible Thursday and Thursday night.
A warm front will push light rain across New Brunswick tonight. Temperatures are forecast to rise overnight but will still be below the freezing mark as the rain begins. As a result periods of freezing rain are expected overnight into Wednesday morning, mostly over central and northern regions of New Brunswick. In southern regions, temperatures are expected to rise above zero before or very soon after the start of the precipitation. Periods of rain will persist on Wednesday with temperatures rising above zero everywhere Wednesday morning.

The cold front will follow Thursday and Thursday night sweeping down across the province. Significant snowfall is possible with the cold front along with strong northeast winds which could give blowing snow to parts of the province Thursday night.
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.weather.gc.ca.
