Flash Freeze Warning Issued

Environment Canada

(Locations listed below description)

Temperatures are forecast to fall rapidly. Ponding water, slush, and any falling precipitation will freeze as the temperature drops.

Locations: Southern half of New Brunswick

temperatures: Falling rapidly from near plus 8 degrees to near minus 5 degrees.

Time span: Late Friday morning into Friday afternoon.

Remarks: An intense cold front will sweep across New Brunswick from North to South on Friday. Rain at times heavy ahead of the front will change quickly through freezing rain to flurries as temperatures plummet beginning late Friday morning or early afternoon.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas.

Flash freeze warnings are issued when a rapid drop in temperature is expected, that can cause water from rain or melted snow on streets and sidewalks to quickly freeze.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to nbstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #NBStorm.
