Heavy rain, high winds for southeastern N.B.

It’s a wet and windy day across most of the province.

Rainfall and wind warnings have been issued for Moncton and Southeast New Brunswick.

We’ll see up to 50 millimetres of rain and wind gusts up to 100 kilometres per hour.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Jill Maepea says rain will fall until Thursday morning and the temperatures will change.

“We are going to see a rapid freeze with that cold frontal passage beginning probably early Thursday in the west and it’ll progress eastward across the province. We’re expecting those temperatures to go from 10 degrees to below zero within a few hours,” Maepea says.

She adds whether or not it will be classified as a flash freeze remains to be seen, but we can expect open standing water or wet surfaces to freeze rapidly.

Maepea adds heavy rainfall on the frozen ground on Wednesday could mean some localized flooding along with road washouts.
