Snow squalls, flurries coming to Maritimes this week [Video]

As a low-pressure system slowly moves north of the Maritimes, a gusty, colder westerly wind will continue to drive flurries and snow squalls in the region.

Mix turns to snow Thursday evening

A mix of showers and flurries will persist in the Maritimes through Thursday afternoon. Snow is accumulating in parts of New Brunswick but it is on the wet side. While some surfaces may just be wet or slushy, they could start to accumulate more snow or turn icy as temperatures fall Thursday evening. Most of New Brunswick will be below the freezing mark by 8 p.m.

Both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island can expect daytime showers to turn to flurries this evening. Low temperatures for those provinces will also fall to near and below freezing Thursday night. Watch for and standing wet surfaces to turn icy by early Friday morning.
