Warning From River Watch

We have an advisory that warns about the possibility of flooding from River Watch because of ice jams due to the milder temperatures and heavy rainfall. 

At risk in particular are the southwestern part of the province and Bay of Fundy coast.

A special weather statement has been issued by Environment Canada for St. Stephen and northern Charlotte County, Grand Manan, coastal Charlotte County, Saint John, St. John County and Fundy National Park with the prediction of up to 40 millimetres of rain falling before it ends tonight.
 

That amount of rainfall could cause localized flooding where drainage systems are blocked by ice and snow.
