The federal agency says a low-pressure system is set to bring milder temperatures, strong winds and a mixed bag of precipitation to the Maritimes.

Snow is forecast to begin falling Tuesday night in the southwest portions of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick before spreading northeastward in both provinces on Wednesday.
There is a chance that the snow will change to ice pellets and freezing rain by Wednesday afternoon and Environment Canada says that travel may be difficult due to blowing snow.
