Strong Winter Storm on Sunday

Another system is rolling into PEI this afternoon into tomorrow. This one is a challenge to forecast because models don’t agree and there is a fine line between the snow/ice pellets/freezing rain. Below is our best analysis of this system as it impacts our Province.

TIMING:

Rain will start and move across the province late morning. Prince County will see a change over to Ice pellets early afternoon and that will make its way East across the province. Ice pellets will change over to snow after midnight and King’s county should see freezing rain just before daybreak. The entire system should push out of the province by Sunday afternoon.

TOTAL AMOUNTS ACROSS THE PROVINCE:

The below amounts indicate the accumulation totals for each of the three counties. The models are still not in total agreement, but what we can see at this time is the following accumulation amounts:

  • Snow & Ice Pellets Western Prince County 25-35cm

  • Eastern Prince County 10-15cm

  • Queens County – 5-15cm

  • Kings County – 5-15cm

WIND:

Winds pick up through the day on Saturday. Generally, they will be between 30-40kmh. Wind gusts will reach 60-70 kmh. Winds will diminish in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Please exercise caution on the roads throughout the afternoon and evening hours of Saturday.

As always, be safe and let us know what you are experiencing in your areas.
