Snowfall warning in effect for:

Queens County P.E.I.

A low pressure system will approach from the southwest tonight and track across Nova Scotia late on Monday.

Snow ahead of this system will begin over Prince Edward Island Monday morning and become heaviest in the afternoon before changing over to ice pellets and then possibly freezing rain in the evening. Precipitation will then taper to isolated flurries late Monday evening. Snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 cm are expected.

Additionally, strong easterly winds will develop late in the day on Monday and may further reduce visibility in blowing snow.
