Western P.E.I. could see significant snowfall Monday night, says Environment Canada
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Prince County, warning of significant snowfall reaching up to 15 cm.
"The best chance in seeing the heavier snowfall are communities north and west of Summerside," the statement reads.
CBC meteorologist Tina Simpkin said Islanders should also watch out for strong winds in the evening.
As the winds shift to southeasterly, they will be gusty at times, reaching 20 km/h with gusts up to 50 km/h and potentially higher along coastal areas, she said.
"It's just going to be a messy night and a messy morning tomorrow morning to get this cleaned up, because it's going to be heavy snow and ice pellet mix followed by rain."
She added that there's potential for freezing rain during the transition to rain Tuesday morning.

Favourable conditions for funnel clouds: Environment Canada
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for much of Manitoba, saying that conditions will be favourable for the development of funnel clouds. The statement says funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation, which 'is normally not a danger near the ground,' but says that there is a chance that it could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado. The special weather statement is currently in effect for over 50 locations, including Winnipeg, with conditions expected to last until the evening hours. Environment Canada advises residents to report severe weather by email, calling 1-800-239-0484 or posting reports on X using #MBStorm.
