4:36 AM EST Wednesday 20 January 2016
Snow squall watch in effect for:
- Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale
- Midland - Coldwater - Orr Lake
Snow squalls are expected to develop late this afternoon or this evening and persist into Thursday morning. Under the snow squall bands, visibilities may be significantly reduced in heavy snow and the snow may quickly accumulate.
Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather.
Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.
