Environment Canada has issued rainfall and snowfall warnings in the Maritimes Wednesday morning ahead of an incoming mix of snow, ice pellets, freezing rain, and rain.
The warnings are in addition to special weather statements that went into effect on Tuesday.
Rainfall warnings in New Brunswick are in effect for Charlotte County, Saint John County, and Kings County.
Environment Canada says rain, at times heavy, is expected and up to 45 mm of rain could fall.
“Periods of light to moderate rain will persist today and tonight before intensifying to heavier rain Thursday morning. Near noon on Thursday a transition through freezing rain and ice pellets to snow is expected over the area before precipitation ends Thursday afternoon,” the warning reads.
Environment Canada also warns localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible and the ground, which is already near saturation, has little ability to absorb further rainfall.
A snowfall warning is also in effect in Kent County and Kouchibouguac National Park where about 20 cm is expected.
