FREDERICTON — Environment Canada says parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia could receive freezing rain later this week for at least four hours.
The weather agency says "significant" freezing rain is possible on Friday, days after the region was hit by two windstorms that knocked out power for thousands.
Southern New Brunswick, except for the Fundy coast, could be hit by freezing rain early Friday morning before it changes to snow later in the day.
Parts of northern mainland Nova Scotia could receive freezing rain overnight Thursday.
Environment Canada says the trajectory of the low-pressure system that is forecast to bring freezing rain is still uncertain.
More than 100,000 customers lost power in New Brunswick after a windstorm on Dec. 18, and about 3,000 customers in Nova Scotia lost power after a windstorm on Dec. 22.
