Environment Canada’s special weather statement for this weekend now includes all three counties on Prince Edward Island.

The weather agency issued the statement for Kings and Queens counties Wednesday, but added Prince County to the mix Thursday morning.

“Significant snowfall and strong winds [are] likely Friday night into Saturday,” the special weather statement reads.

It said 10 to 25 cm of total snowfall is possible, with maximum wind gusts of 70 km/h.

Similar storms in the past have caused hazardous driving conditions and cancellations of scheduled activities, Environment Canada said.

“Snow arrives Friday night into early Saturday and continues through the day as a storm system tracks south and east of the region,” said CBC meteorologist Jay Scotland.

“With the temperature likely near freezing, this may be a wetter snow but a gusty north-northwest wind is possible on Saturday so blowing snow is also a concern in addition to snow-covered roads.”

Snowfall amounts will depend on the track of the storm and are subject to change, said Scotland.
