While some parts of New Brunswick are seeing spring temperatures in the double digits this week, the northern region has another snowstorm on the way.

Environment Canada has issued snowfall warnings for Campbellton, Mount Carleton and the Bathurst and Chaleur regions. 

The warning says that 15 centimetres of snow overnight Tuesday into Wednesday can be expected.

Rain will start falling Tuesday evening and change to snow later in the evening or overnight, the forecast says.

"There is some uncertainty in the track of the system and a slight change in track could change precipitation amounts," the warning says.

The Acadian Peninsula and Miramichi areas have special weather statements for up to 10 centimetres of snow.
