Western P.E.I. could see significant snowfall Monday night, says Environment Canada
"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.
