Environment Canada is warning of significant snowfall and dangerous wind chills across much of New Brunswick as a weather system approaches.

Special weather statement continues for eastern areas

Moncton, Kent County and Fundy National Park remain under a special weather statement.

Environment Canada said a developing weather system could bring 15 to 25 centimetres of snow to central and eastern regions, depending on the storm’s track.

The agency noted that a slight shift north could increase snowfall amounts.

Environment Canada added that snow accumulation may slow travel and suggested planning ahead in case schools or activities are cancelled.

Province‑wide cold warning continues

A yellow‑level cold warning remains in place for all of New Brunswick.

Wind chills between -30 and -40 degrees Celsius are expected until Sunday morning, with the coldest values in the northwest.

The agency indicated that temperatures should begin to moderate on Sunday afternoon.

Environment Canada also warned that extreme cold increases the risk of frostbite and hypothermia and encouraged people to dress in warm, wind‑resistant layers.

Snowfall warning for the southwest regions

A yellow‑level snowfall warning is in effect for several southwestern areas, including Saint John, St. Stephen, Grand Manan, Fredericton, Oromocto and Sussex.

Environment Canada said 15 to 25 centimetres of snow is expected from Sunday night through Tuesday morning.

Winds on Monday may create blowing snow and reduced visibility, and the agency noted that snow should taper off by early Tuesday.

Environment Canada advised that accumulating snow could make roads and walkways difficult to navigate and is reminding people to prepare for changing travel conditions.
