Description

Blizzard conditions with poor visibility in snow and blowing snow are expected.

A low pressure system approaching the Kivalliq coast from the east will bring strong northeasterly winds on Sunday along with 5 to 10 cm of snow.

The combination of 70 km/h wind gusts and falling snow will give near-zero visibilities in falling and blowing snow.

Blizzard conditions will ease Monday morning as winds diminish.
