Another winter storm headed for New Brunswick is expected to bring a wintry mix over the long weekend.

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for the province late Friday afternoon.

Jill Maepea, a meteorologist with the weather agency, said this storm looks quite similar to what we saw on Thursday.

Snow is expected to spread from west to east starting late afternoon or early evening on Sunday, she said.

“However, the southern parts, again, look to be changing over in the evening or overnight hours to that mix of ice pellets and freezing rain,” Maepea said in an interview on Friday.

“Another concern for areas along the Bay of Fundy will actually be a period of just freezing rain. We are seeing more indications of possibly a few hours of freezing rain.”

Southern regions of the province could see between 10 and 15 centimetres of snow before the changeover, said Maepea.

As for northern New Brunswick, where the precipitation should remain as snow, more than 30 centimetres could fall in some places.

“Then by Monday morning, most of it has cleared the province,” added Maepea.

Winds are not expected to be an issue with this system, the meteorologist said, with brief gusts up to 70 or 80 kilometres per hour possible.
