Snow squall warning for Searchmont to Lake Superior Park

NEWS RELEASE

ENVIRONMENT CANADA

*************************
Snow squall warning in effect for:

• Agawa - Lake Superior Park
• Searchmont - Montreal River Harbour - Batchawana Bay

Snow squalls are occurring. Under the snow squall bands, visibilities will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow combined with blowing snow, and snow will quickly accumulate.

Further snowfall amounts of near 5 cm are likely before snow squalls weaken into a few flurries later this morning.

Very low visibility in bursts of heavy snow are likely in the strongest snow squalls this morning.

Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Road closures are possible.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports to #ONStorm.
