AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES CFB TRENTON, PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW ARE
EXPECTED TO QUICKLY TRANSITION TO HEAVIER SNOWFALL RATES OF UP TO 4
CENTIMETERS PER HOUR FROM 06/1200Z UNTIL 06/1600Z. SNOW IS EXPECTED
TO TAPER OFF TO PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW MIXED WITH FREEZING DRIZZLE OR

STRONGEST LIKELIHOOD OF FREEZING PRECIPITATION WILL BE DURING THE

CENTIMETERS, WHILE ICE ACCRETION WILL RANGE FROM TRACE AMOUNTS TO 2
MILLIMETERS, DEPENDING ON WHEN SURFACE TEMPERATURES CLIMB ABOVE

IN ADDITION TO THE MIXED PRECIPITATION, THE BACKSIDE OF THIS

INTERMITTENT GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED BEGINNING
LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY. WHILE THERE IS STILL SOME
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE STRENGTH OF THE PEAK GUSTS, A STRONG
LOW-LEVEL JET WILL ALLOW FOR WIND GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40 KNOTS
