Snowfall warning in effect for:

Moncton and Southeast New Brunswick

A low pressure system approaching from the west will cross southern New Brunswick on Tuesday. Snow associated with this system will start over New Brunswick overnight tonight and will taper off late in the afternoon on Tuesday. Total snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 cm are expected. However, should the track of this system change as it approaches our region, these amounts could change significantly.

Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.
