Another Blast of Winter
/Valid Feb 7, 2021
It looks like Mother Nature has something planned for the Superbowl after party.
TIMING:
Snow will begin sometime after 8pm and will quickly make its way across the entire province. It will continue to snow throughout the night with it tapering to flurries on Monday near noon.
TOTAL AMOUNTS ACROSS THE PROVINCE:
Once again, the models do not totally agree on this system and any slight shift in the low could change the predicted snowfall accumulations below.
Prince County – 5-15 cm
Queens County – 10-20 cm
Kings County – 20-30 cm
WIND: Winds will be a factor with this system. Many areas of the Province will experience blowing and drifting snow.
Wind will start increasing near midnight Sunday night and continue until late Monday. Wind will be 30-40 km/h with gusts of 50-60 km/h early Monday into mid day with higher wind gusts in Kings County possible.
TEMPERATURE: Temperatures will drop throughout the day Monday. Starting the day around -2 to -4C and ending the day around -7 to -10C.
With the increasing winds and snow, visibility will be diminished, mostly in Kings and Queens counties. Please exercise caution on the roads throughout the evening hours of Tuesday.
Snowfall or Blizzard warnings may still be issued as the storm system moves closer to the Province.
As always, be safe and let us know what you are experiencing in your areas.
Storm chip Probability: 100% (only because you should have them on hand for the Superbowl).
