Snow is expected in parts of the Maritimes late Thursday afternoon and night.

It may be a snowy start to Saturday for parts of Nova Scotia. A northerly wind keeps a bitter wind chill in place across the Maritimes.

More snow and bitterly cold weather are expected in much of the Maritimes this week.

A weak area of low pressure moving in may be just enough to trigger some snow squalls off the Bay of Fundy Thursday afternoon and night.

A low-pressure system bringing a mix of snow and rain Saturday night into Sunday is followed by a second system on Monday. After that, Arctic sourced air as a result of a breakdown in the polar vortex moves into the Maritimes.
