Environment Canada issued multiple snowfall and storm surge warnings for most areas of northern New Brunswick on Sunday.
Snow is expected Monday in western Restigouche County and Madawaska, with a total accumulation of nearly 6 inches, according to the federal agency.
Southeast winds of 30 km/h with gusts of 50 to 80 km/h in the afternoon may accompany the precipitation, which will change to rain at the same time.
A storm surge warning is in effect for Campbellton and the eastern half of Restigouche County and the Acadian Peninsula.
Environment Canada expects strong storm surge and large waves to hit the coast on Monday.
“The storm surge is expected to cause impacts such as coastal flooding, coastal erosion, minor damage to infrastructure, the spread of coastal debris and, in places, the washing away of sections of coastal roads,” Sunday’s warning said.
The warning affects the east-facing coastal portions of the Acadian Peninsula and the west and north shores of Chaleur Bay.
The maximum wave height in these locations could reach almost 3 meters, the federal agency says.
Rain or snow or a mix of precipitation is expected in other areas of the province this Monday.
Temperatures could rise up to 10°C in Saint John and up to 8°C in places like Moncton, Fredericton and Woodstock.
