Islanders could be in for another messy mix of winter weather starting Sunday afternoon.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for all three of P.E.I.'s counties Friday afternoon, warning a combination of snow, ice pellets, freezing rain and rain were in the forecast.
The weather agency expects snow to begin around noon Sunday before the precipitation transitions to ice pellets, several hours of freezing rain and then to rain by evening.
Precipitation is likely to turn back to snow early Monday morning, Environment Canada said, but warned it's too soon to provide more specific details.
The agency urges Islanders to monitor forecasts for Sunday and consider adjusting travel plans to avoid the worst of the conditions.
