Central and northern areas of New Brunswick as well as western Prince Edward Island will likely get a more moderate amount of snow ranging from a few to several centimetres.
The heavier snow in Nova Scotia will progressively mix with more rain towards the Atlantic coastline.

Wind is not expected to be severe. North and northeast gusts of 30 to 60 km/h are expected to accompany the mix of snow and rain.
