Heavy snowfall in store for much of New Brunswick
Up to 25 centimetres of snow expected beginning Sunday evening
A winter storm is moving into New Brunswick with heavy snow and gusty winds, with a big temperature drop to follow.
CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon says most of the province looks set to see totals in the range of 15-25 centimetres, with a little less in the northwest of the province.
The snow will begin this evening and may be mixed with some rain in the south. The snow will continue overnight and into Monday, which will mean a slow morning commute.
Northwest winds gusting 40-50 km/h will kick in overnight and continue throughout the day on Monday, leading to blowing snow and reduced visibility for those travelling.
Those northwest winds will also usher in a much cooler air mass. Temperatures will fall Sunday night, throughout the day on Monday, with temperatures dropping to -18 C to -24 C by Tuesday morning.
Temperatures will remain below seasonal throughout the week, with relatively calm conditions and some welcome sunshine on the way.
