Special weather statement in effect for:

Fredericton and Southern York County
A wintry mix of precipitation expected Sunday night through Tuesday.

A low pressure system is expected to approach the province from the southwest on Sunday, and pass near southern New Brunswick on Monday before moving into the Gulf of St. Lawrence on Tuesday.

Over northern New Brunswick, precipitation is expected to begin as a mix of snow and ice pellets on Sunday night. A transition through freezing rain to rain is then expected on Monday morning. Rain is likely to persist through the day on Monday before a changeover back to snow as the low pressure system pulls away on Monday night.

Over southern New Brunswick, this system is currently expected to bring predominately rain, beginning on Sunday night. A brief changeover to snow is possible on Monday night as the low moves away.

Precipitation will taper off over all areas through the day on Tuesday.

Total rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 millimetres are likely across the province, with the possibility of 10 centimetres or more of snow for northernmost regions of New Brunswick.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NBstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #NBStorm.
