A winter storm is barrelling toward New Brunswick with snow, ice pellets, freezing rain, rain and strong winds.
A snowfall warning was issued on Wednesday for most of New Brunswick.
Jill Maepea, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said snow will move into the region Thursday afternoon.
“For the Saint John and St. Stephen area, generally we’re looking right around the 10 to 15-centimetre amounts,” said Maepea.
But Maepea said those totals could be lower along the coast, where there could be a period of rain.
She said the Kennebecasis Valley should expect around 15 to 20 centimetres, while parts of northern New Brunswick could get more than 30 centimetres.
In addition to the mixed precipitation, Maepea said winds will gust to around 80 kilometres per hour along the coast.
“Anywhere where there is that just straight snow and those winds blowing around that snow, we will see reduced visibilities,” she said.
Maepea said the bulk of the precipitation will come to an end by Friday morning, though we could still see some lingering flurries throughout the day.
As for the weekend, she said we can expect plenty of sunshine with daytime highs hovering around the freezing mark.
