New Brunswick weather: colder than normal end to April
As the month of April draws to a close, CBC meteorologist Peter Coade says it will remain cool with more snow than rain expected.
He says a low pressure system to our south is responsible for an easterly flow over Atlantic Canada for the next few days resulting in a series of disturbances from the North Atlantic.
"Due to the coldness of the North Atlantic, our temperatures will be held to much colder than the normal for the end of April which means more snow than rain in many communities," Coade said.
"This weather pattern is not expected to change until the latter part of the week when that low pressure to our south will
finally drift farther out into the North Atlantic."
