Forecasters watching potential winter storm early next week

A significant winter storm could bring heavy snow to New Brunswick early next week.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for much of the province.

Snow is expected to begin Sunday night and continue throughout the day Monday.

Forecasters said more than 25 centimetres is possible for nearly the entire province.

Areas along the Fundy Coast, including Saint John and coastal Charlotte County, are not included. However, St. Stephen and northern Charlotte County are under the special weather statement.

Environment Canada said snowfall amounts will be less in those areas as the snow may change to freezing rain or rain.

Meanwhile, gusty northerly winds are expected to develop behind the low and cause reduced visibility in blowing snow on Monday.
