Where: Whitehorse, Teslin, Atlin, Haines Junction, Cassiar Mountains, Watson Lake, Muncho Lake Park - Stone Mountain Park.

Additional information:
A frontal system is spreading snow to the southern Yukon. Snow at times heavy will taper off later this morning as the front departs.

Total snowfall accumulation of 15-20 cm are forecast. Locally higher amounts are possible, especially over Cassiar Mountain and Watson Lake regions. Snowfall combined with gusty northerly winds will generate reduced visibilities in drifting or blowing snow.
