More Rain For Charlotte County

A special weather statement has been issued by Environment Canada about more rain beginning today. 

It cautions a low pressure system will approach the region today and then stall near Yarmouth tomorrow. Rain associated with this system will move into southwestern New Brunswick by this afternoon and spread northeastward throughout the day. 

The rain will be heavy at times, persisting into tomorrow. Rainfall amounts may reach warning levels especially for the southernmost areas of the province. Up to 50 millimeters is being forecast for the Charlotte County area.
The network says rainfall amounts may reach warning criteria. It states the worrisome issue is the ground is already quite saturated from remnants of tropical storm Andrea -- which dumped 90mms of rain on Grand Manan Island last weekend.
