Environment Canada has updated its weather forecast, replacing the snow squall watch with a snow squall warning for specific regions. This alert is pertinent for areas including:
- Mount Forest
- Arthur
- Northern Wellington County
Weather Details
The onset of the lake effect snow squalls is anticipated this evening, bringing with it several hazards:
- Accumulations: Local snowfalls could accumulate up to 20 cm by Saturday afternoon.
- Visibility: Expect very poor visibility due to bursts of heavy snow and local blowing snow.
Timing and Duration
The snow squalls are likely to begin this evening and continue until Saturday afternoon. There is also a possibility of these snow squalls reappearing on Sunday. Be prepared for sudden weather changes, as conditions can fluctuate swiftly from clear skies to intense snowfall within a few kilometers.
Travel Advisory
Travel is advised to be hazardous during these conditions due to reduced visibility and rapidly accumulating snow. This could make travel challenging over certain areas. Please ensure to check for regular updates on road conditions and plan your travel accordingly.
