P.E.I. likely to see significant snowfall this weekend, says Environment Canada

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for P.E.I.'s Kings and Queens counties lasting from Friday night into Saturday. 

"Significant snowfall is possible for some or all of Prince Edward Island which could make travel difficult on Saturday," the special weather statement reads. 

"An area of low pressure is expected to travel up the eastern seaboard late this week and track south of Nova Scotia on Saturday bringing snow to the island." 

Islanders with pre-Christmas travel plans should keep an eye on the weather on Saturday, said CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon.

"The track of the system will be key and has yet to be ironed out, however this has the potential to bring an impactful snowfall," he said.

Environment Canada didn't share what amount of snow to expect, because the track might change.
