Much of southwestern New Brunswick will be in for its first taste of winter on Wednesday.

Snow will begin over St. Stephen and Northern Charlotte County in the morning.

It will mix with ice pellets late in the afternoon before changing to rain throughout the evening.

Environment Canada says 10 to 15 centimetres of snow and ice pellets are possible, and there is also a risk of freezing rain.

The precipitation will fall as rain over Grand Manan and Coastal Charlotte County.
