Snow squalls, accompanied by strong winds and blowing snow, have developed in a cold northerly flow off of Southern Lake Huron and are affecting the Sarnia - Lambton area. These snow squalls are expected to persist there through about mid afternoon then gradually shift to affect regions to the east of Lake Huron by evening. Additionally, snow squalls are forecast to form off Georgian Bay this evening, affecting regions to the south of the bay. The snow squalls are likely to persist through much of Sunday. Throughout that time, the snow bands are forecast to periodically shift their orientation, thus affecting different regions at different times. This will tend to reduce the total snowfall amounts, however accumulations in excess of 15 cm are still likely in some locales. The primary concerns with snow squalls are rapidly accumulating snow due to heavy snow fall, and very low and variable visibilities due to falling and blowing snow. These factors can result in treacherous travelling conditions.
