Additional weather alerts are in place in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia as an early December storm approaches the Maritimes.
Special weather statements remain in place in northern New Brunswick where “significant” snowfall is possible beginning early Thursday.
Environment Canada says 10 to 15 cm is expected for central areas, though more may be possible over higher terrain and northern areas.
“Temperatures will be near zero in some low-lying or coastal areas, which could lead to highly variable snowfall based on elevation. Gusty southeasterly winds are also possible, with gusts as high as 70 to 80 km/h along the coast Thursday afternoon,” the statement reads.
Snowfall warnings are also now in effect in northern New Brunswick, where amounts may reach up to 25 cm.
“A developing low pressure system will move over central New Brunswick on Thursday. This low will bring a mix of winter weather to many areas with mainly snow for northern areas. Windy conditions can also be expected for some coastal areas,” the warnings says.
In Nova Scotia, wind warnings are in effect across Cape Breton.
