Winter storm warning for Fredericton and Southern York County issued This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are expected in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.
A low pressure system approaching from south of Cape Cod will push into a ridge currently over the Maritimes and will stall. This will give a prolonged period of precipitation to Southwestern New Brunswick Thursday and Thursday night.
This will be mostly snow, but there will also be some rain or ice pellets and a risk of freezing rain near and along the Fundy coast. Current indications suggest that much of Southwestern New Brunswick will experience snowfall amounts in the 20 to 30 centimetre range up to Friday morning but there remains some uncertainty in those amounts.
Parts of Southwest New Brunswick most notably the Fundy coast will also see some rain from this system along with possible ice pellets or freezing rain. Those areas where most of the snowfall is expected along with a mixture of rain freezing rain or ice pellets are the areas for which the winter storm warning has been issued. Southeastern New Brunswick will see lesser amounts of snow up to Friday morning and consequently a winter storm watch is in effect for those regions.
