Weather summary
for New Brunswick
issued by Environment Canada
at 6:06 a.m. ADT Saturday 10 July 2021.
Discussion.
A significant rainfall event occurred in New Brunswick over the past
24 hours or so. A trough of low pressure gave periods of heavy rain
along with isolated thunderstorms to portions of the province well
ahead of the moisture associated with post-tropical storm Elsa. The
combination of the two lead to widespread rainfall amounts of
between 50 and 100 mm. The following are rainfall totals (in mm) as
of 5 AM ADT Saturday July 10, 2021.
