Environment Canada has issued a yellow warning for the Napanee and Picton areas as snow and heavy winds are expected to begin battering the region.<\/p>\n

Both areas could be hit with up to 10 centimetres of snow on Boxing Day afternoon, the weather agency said, with wind gusts as high as 50 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Another two to four centimetres could fall Friday evening before tapering off after midnight.<\/p>\n

The overnight lows for both communities hover around -11 C, but with the wind it could feel closer to -20.<\/p>\n

Nearby Kingston is not under a warning, but Environment Canada says up to seven centimetres of snow could fall by morning, with wind gusts up to 40 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Environment Canada recently switched to a new colour-coded weather alert system, one that better aligns with recommendations from the World Meteorological Association.<\/p>\n

The agency has eliminated inclement weather watches, and now issues weather warnings in three colours: yellow, orange and red.<\/p>\n

As for Ottawa, Environment Canada says up to four centimetres of snow could fall by Saturday morning. <\/p>\n

Tonight’s low in the nation’s capital is -14 C, with the wind making it feel more like -23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[273,111,139,69,147],"class_list":{"0":"post-203405","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-environment","8":"tag-environment","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-science"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
