Rainfall warning in effect for:

Fredericton and Southern York County
Rainfall, combined with melting snow, is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.

A warm front will approach the Maritimes from the west today and cross the Maritimes overnight. This front will usher in much milder air and strengthening southwest winds. Snow will spread across New Brunswick today followed by rain throughout most of the province by Thursday morning. A period of freezing rain is expected during the transition from snow to rain especially over western and northern regions.

This system will intensify during the day Thursday bringing further rainfall and significant snowmelt. Rainfall amounts associated with this system are forecast to be between 30 and 40 mm however the highest amounts could exceed 50 mm. Areas that are vulnerable to excess rain falling on frozen ground may have issues with water not being absorbed or draining off well.

A return to colder, drier weather is expected on Friday.

Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.

Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected.
