Active AlertsCap-Bateau, NB

Moderate snowfall, strong winds, and blowing snow possible.

Total snowfall amounts: 5 to 10 cm.

Maximum wind gusts: northeasterly 50 to 70 km/h, except near 80 over exposed areas of the Acadian peninsula.

Locations: parts of central and eastern New Brunswick.

Time span: Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.

Remarks: An intense low pressure system forecast to track across Nova Scotia Monday night is expected to bring hazardous winter conditions to portions of New Brunswick. The worst conditions are currently expected to be along the Fundy coast and through southeastern New Brunswick where a Yellow Level - Winter Storm Warning has been issued. Higher than normal waters levels are also expected along eastern facing coastlines of the Northumberland Strait on Tuesday.

Rapid snowfall accumulation may make travel slow or hazardous. Roads and walkways could become slippery and difficult to navigate. Strong winds accompanying the snow will cause reduced visibility in blowing and drifting snow. Blowing snow advisories may be required as this event draws nearer.
