WEATHER ALERT
ENVIRONMENT CANADA
*************************
Snow squall watch in effect for:
- Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale
- Midland - Coldwater - Orr Lake
Lake effect snow squalls are possible Tuesday afternoon.
In the wake of a cold front, a blast of cold arctic air is expected to flow over the relatively warm waters of Georgian Bay on Tuesday.
Flurries and local snow squalls are expected to begin Tuesday afternoon and continue into Wednesday.
Local snowfall amounts 5 to 10 cm are possible on Tuesday and amounts of 15 to 25 cm are possible Tuesday night. Local blowing snow reducing visibility to near zero will also be a concern.
Local snow squalls are expected to taper off when the winds shift to southwest on Wednesday.
Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
