The Eastern Gaspé Peninsula will see snow on Tuesday afternoon. Up to 15 cm of snow is expected.


New Brunswick

Heavy snow is expected across most of New Brunswick with the exception of southern sections. Amounts of 15 to 30 cm are expected. An extended period of freezing is also expected for parts of southeastern New Brunswick including Kent county, Grand Lake and Queens County, Oromocto and Sunbury County and northern Charlotte county. Snow and ice pellets are expected for southeastern New Brunswick followed by a transition to rain.


Prince Edward Island

Snow and ice pellets are expected to develop early on Tuesday morning. Precipitation will change to rain on Tuesday with about 10 mm expected.
