Snow, potential storm surge forecast for northern N.B.
Snowfall warnings ouy for much of the north, from Grand Falls to Campbellton
Northern New Brunswick is expecting a snowstorm and possibly a storm surge for coastal regions overnight Wednesday and into Thursday.
Environment Canada has issued snowfall warnings for most of the north, from Grand Falls up to Campbellton.
These regions with snowfall warnings can expect 15 to 25 centimetres of snow, which could result in difficult driving and power outages, according to the warning.
Central New Brunswick — including Woodstock, Centreville and Boistown — and more northeastern regions, including the Acadian Peninsula and Miramichi, have been given special weather statements that say 10 to 15 cm of snow can be expected, along with gusty winds.
While the Bathurst and Campbellton areas can expect up to 25 cm of snow, these areas may also see a storm surge late Thursday afternoon.
The Environment Canada statement says large waves, pounding surf and elevated seawater levels are expected, "possibly exceeding high astronomical tide."
