Saturday may be a night for settling in at home with a game or a movie rather than going out, as a weather system brings high winds and heavy rain to P.E.I. 

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement in connection with a low-pressure system on its way to the Island this weekend. CBC meteorologist Jay Scotland said P.E.I. will start to feel the impact during the day Saturday.

“Saturday will be windy, with peak gusts in the 60-90 km/h range possible late Saturday,” said Scotland.

“This combo of heavy rain and gusty wind may result in local flooding and some outages are possible as well.”
