Snow Squall Warning in effect for: St. Thomas - Aylmer - Eastern Elgin County

Snow squalls expected today and tonight. Hazards: Locally heavy snowfall with accumulations of 20 to 30 cm by Friday morning. Peak snowfall rates of 3 to 6 cm per hour. Strong northwesterly winds gusting up to 70 km/h today. Very poor to nil visibility at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.

Timing: Today and tonight.

Several bands of snow squalls from Lake Huron will affect the region today through tonight. Locally higher snowfall amounts near 40 cm are possible especially if a single strong snow squall locks in for a few hours or more beginning this morning. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Road closures are possible. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
