Fairly quiet period ahead: just late day patchy light snow over the NW & light rain E NS.
Scattered showers (flurries N) cross the Maritimes Saturday with another area of rain clipping E NS in the evening.
Fine Sunday; just clouds in a westerly onshore breeze.
Next week also looks manageable...

Fine today but clouds & flurries slow to clear where west winds blow off Fundy & Gulf (esply CB Highlands).
Rain and strong SE winds Sunday. Could be icy start in morning; in fact stays as snow (5-10cm) in NW NB.
Gusty NW winds and cooler Monday; showers or flurries more likely in onshore flow.
