Statements 7:45 AM ADT Wednesday 10 July 2024 Special Weather Statement in effect for: St. Stephen and Northern Charlotte County Potential for significant rainfall tonight into Friday. Locations: most of New Brunswick, except for northern-most sections. A slow-moving and somewhat disorganized weather system will move into the region beginning later tonight and linger into Friday. While the rain could be intermittent through this period, complicating matters is that tropical moisture from the remnants of Beryl is expected to feed into this system. This could potentially enhance rainfall amounts and increase the risk of heavy rainfall rates. The evolution of this system will be closely monitored today as it develops over Maine and Southern Quebec regions. Rainfall warnings may be required for areas most at risk. Similar events in the past have brought heavy downpours and pooling of water, as well as localized flooding in low-lying areas.
