UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – Environment Canada is warning that there could be a significant precipitation event in Cornwall and the surrounding area this weekend.
“A low pressure system is expected to track over Southern Ontario on Saturday,” reads a special weather statement from Environment Canada. “This low pressure system has the potential to bring significant snow or rain to the area through the weekend.”
Environment Canada says that they cannot yet predict what kind of precipitation the region is in for.
“At this time there is uncertainty as to the exact track of this low pressure system and as a result there is uncertainty in the type of precipitation that will fall,” the statement reads. “At this time the most significant snowfall is expected for areas north of a line from Lake Simcoe to Ottawa. South of this line, precipitation is expected to fall mostly as rain. The heaviest precipitation is likely to fall during the day Saturday and into Saturday night. Precipitation is expected to taper to scattered flurries on Sunday,” the statement continues.
The Weather Network is calling for a high of 4 degrees in Cornwall on Saturday with 5-10mm of rain with that turning into snow on Sunday.
