A weather system is getting a lot of attention in the United States because of the impacts to their very busy travel days leading up to Thanksgiving, but it will also have some impact in the Maritimes Wednesday into Thursday.
A weather system is getting a lot of attention in the United States because of the impacts to their very busy travel days leading up to Thanksgiving, but it will also have some impact in the Maritimes Wednesday into Thursday.
It’s a developing low-pressure system that will push to the eastern seaboard of the U.S. Wednesday morning before passing across the southwest of Nova Scotia Thursday morning. A winter weather advisory has already been issued by the U.S. National Weather Service for parts of Maine. The advisory is calling for potential snow of 10 to 15 cm on Wednesday, creating difficult travel conditions.
The Maritimes will also receive a mixture of snow and rain from the same system.
By noon on Wednesday, snow is expected to be falling across much of western New Brunswick, with rain approaching southwestern Nova Scotia. By the start of Wednesday evening, snow will be falling across most of New Brunswick, except mixed with rain south of Fredericton. Rain will be in place across the western half of mainland Nova Scotia. A wet and slushy snow is initially possible for northern areas of Nova Scotia, including parts of the Annapolis Valley, Cumberland, Colchester, and Pictou Counties. As temperatures rise Wednesday night into Thursday morning, the snow-rain line is expected to push all the way up into northern areas of New Brunswick.
