Description

Snow squalls Monday into Tuesday.

What:
Near zero visibility in heavy snow and blowing snow.
Total snowfall amounts approaching 25 cm.

When:

Additional information:
A colder air mass in the wake of a departing low pressure system is expected to result in the development of lake effect snow squalls off Lake Huron.
