Snow squall warning in effect for:

Local snow squalls today into tonight.
Snow squalls are forecast to move into the area today and then persist into tonight.
Local snowfall accumulations of 10 to 20 cm are expected by Saturday morning with amounts up to 25 cm possible in areas that experience persistent snow squalls.
The heavy snow will combine with strong northwesterly winds resulting in reduced visibilities in heavy snow and blowing snow at times.

Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions.
