ENVIRONMENT CANADA
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
*************************
Snow squall watch in effect for:
- Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale
- Midland - Coldwater - Orr Lake
- Orillia - Lagoon City - Washago
Snow squalls are possible beginning late tonight until early afternoon on Friday.
While snow accumulation will be limited to under 10 cm in most locales, strong west to northwest winds are expected to result in locally very poor visibilities at times in a combination of snow and blowing snow.
Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common.
Visibility may be significantly and suddenly reduced to near zero.
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.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports to #ONStorm.
