A Potentially Wintry Mess for the weekend

Mother Nature may have a mixed bag of weather in store for the weekend. The current models indicate it’ll include rain and freezing rain for some areas on Saturday. Sunday is the messy one. Depending on where you are, you could see an extended period of snow, sleet or freezing rain.  Keep in mind that this is still several days away.   If the track of the storm changes, so will the type and amount of precipitation you’ll receive.  We’ll keep an eye on it, and update as necessary.

Thursday:  No active weather anticipated

Friday:  A small disturbance will pass through the province, but leaving only a dusting of snow. Daytime highs will range from -5 to -10*c. 

Saturday:   The fun begins. Rain and or freezing rain will begin between 8-10am in western New Brunswick. By lunch time it should be mainly rain. Rain will continue through the night in mid to south NB.

Sunday:  The main event…  Overnight, rain will change to freezing rain in the south, while central NB will start to see sleet, and the north will see snow.  Through the day, much of south and central areas will change over to sleet, while the extreme southwest (south of St John to Saint Steven) will continue with freezing rain.  Between 5 to 7pm, a cold front will sweep through and change the sleet and freezing rain over to snow.  Between 8pm and midnight, the snow will come to an end.  Temps will range from near freezing during the day, to -5 to -15*c by the time it’s all done..

Sunday’s accumulations:

Snow: 12 to 30cm Northern half of NB

Sleet:  5 to 10cm Central and south

Freezing rain:  5 to 15mm mostly in the southwest

***Keep in mind that the above amounts could change depending on where the mixing line is, and if the track of the storm changes

Monday:   Y’all get a break on Monday. No active weather is anticipated.

***Note, the attached map covers Sunday only
