Snow squall warning in effect for:
Mount Forest – Arthur – Northern Wellington County
Snow squalls are expected. Under the snow squall bands, visibilities will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow combined with blowing snow, and snow will quickly accumulate.
Lake effect snow squalls are expected to develop this afternoon and continue into Friday in some locations.
Local snowfall accumulation of up to 20 cm is expected by Friday morning, with higher amounts possible for areas under the heaviest snow squall bands. In addition to the snowfall, reduced visibility in local blowing snow is also anticipated.
Squalls are expected to shift south of Saugeen Shores – Kincardine – South Bruce County Friday morning.
Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.
