This is my weekend weather forecast: Freezing rain and ice pellets have arrived (Saturday) as expected. It is forecast to change to all ice pellets before much ice builds up, with several centimetres of ice pellets expected.
The precipitation will likely taper off to some freezing drizzle Saturday evening. However, freezing rain is expected to move back in, and may persist well into Sunday before changing over to rain. Significant rain may fall late Sunday and Sunday night creating localized flooding.
Ice build up of 10 to possibly 20 mm is likely by late Sunday.
Ice accumulations of this magnitude combined with gusty northeast winds of 70 to 80 km/h may result in considerable power outages due to fallen tree limbs and power lines. |
