The New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organisation has issued a public alert to raise awareness about the possibility of flooding.
River levels are expected to rise over the next 72 hours thanks, in part, to the rainfall we're expecting over the next few days combined with the snow. That word coming from Karl Wilmot of River Watch who tells CHSJ News some areas could be up to flood stage by the end of the week.
Wilmot says the Woodstock area appears to be vulnerable but there is still some leeway in Fredericton and no danger of any ice jams along the St. John River.
He adds the flood situation will be dictated largely by how much rain we get over the next 72 hours.
