10:57 AM ADT Sunday 14 April 2019
Rainfall warning in effect for:Stanley - Doaktown - Blackville Area
Rain, heavy at times is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.

A low pressure system approaching the province from the southwest is forecast to cross New Brunswick on Monday night 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 tonight. A transition through freezing rain to rain is then expected overnight or Monday morning. The rain is likely to persist into Monday evening before changing back to snow on Monday night as the low pressure system pulls away.

Rainfall amounts of 15 to 30 mm are forecast for central New Brunswick by late Monday afternoon, with additional amounts expected in the evening prior to the changeover to snow.

It is possible that some areas of central New Brunswick will receive a prolonged period of freezing rain tonight into Monday morning, and freezing rain warnings may be issued later today.

Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.

Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected.
