Another fall storm will bring a mixed bag of weather to start the weekend, according to Environment Canada.
Meteorologist Jill Maepea said precipitation will begin throughout New Brunswick on Saturday morning.
“We are expecting the precipitation to begin as some snow up in the north-northwest, but it’ll remain as rain for the rest of the province, generally the southern sections of the province,” said Maepea.
Maepea said parts of northern New Brunswick could see five to 10 centimetres of snow before it changes to rain.
She said most areas will see 20 to 40 millimetres of rain, but the Fundy coast could see up to 50 millimetres.

Maepea said winds will be gusty — first out of the east, then out of the south — but not as strong as during Monday night’s storm.
“You saw winds over 100 kilometres per hour in Saint John,” she said. “We’re expecting, generally, only around maybe 70 [kilometres per hour] with possibly some gusts along parts of the coast.”
Maepea said the system will bring mild temperatures to much of the province, with the highest temperatures expected early Sunday morning.
She said most of the precipitation will end Saturday night and the storm will begin to move out on Sunday.
“As the system pulls away, our winds will shift to the northwest and we’ll get a cooler northwest flow, so our temperatures will actually fall during the day Sunday,” said Maepea.
Maepea said it looks like a steady drop in temperatures so they are not expecting a flash freeze.
