Queens County P.E.I.
10:59 AM AST Thursday 02 January 2014
Blowing snow warning for
Queens County P.E.I. issued

Snowfall combined with strong northeast winds will give significantly reduced visibilities in blowing snow on Friday.

This is a warning that an extended period of blowing snow with poor visibilities is expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.

A cold airmass over the region combined with brisk northwest winds will combine to give extreme wind chill values below minus 35. Wind chill values will improve later today as winds ease and temperatures moderate somewhat but cold wind chill values below minus 25 will persist through Friday.

A low pressure system will approach the region tonight and track well south of the region on Friday as it intensifies. This system is expected to give periods of snow to the island on Friday. This snow, combined with the cold Arctic airmass over the region and increasing northeast winds gusting up to 60 km/h Friday afternoon, will likely give near-zero visibilities at times in blowing and drifting snow, especially over exposed areas.

This is a warning that extreme wind chill conditions are expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.

A cold airmass over the region combined with brisk northwest winds will combine to give extreme wind chill values below minus 35. Wind chill values will improve later today as winds ease and temperatures moderate somewhat but cold wind chill values below minus 25 will persist through Friday.

Fredericton and Southern York County
10:40 AM AST Thursday 02 January 2014
Wind chill warning for
Fredericton and Southern York County continued

Wind chill values of near minus 35 near noon today.

This is a warning that extreme wind chill conditions are occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.

A cold Arctic airmass and light to moderate westerly winds are giving extreme wind chill values near minus 35 across most regions. Windchill values will improve slightly this afternoon but will likely lower again to minus 35 Friday night as winds increase from the north.

A low pressure system will track south of Nova Scotia on Friday. At present time 10 to 15 centimetres of snow is expected in southern most areas of New Brunswick. Winds gusting to 60 km/h will result in blowing snow giving low visibility. A slight shift in the track of the low to the north could result in greater amounts of snow and stronger winds which may require an upgrade to a winter storm or blizzard warning over parts of Southern New Brunswick.
