Expected Conditions
Heavy snow and blowing snow are expected to result in significantly reduced visibilities, which may reach near zero at times. Total snowfall accumulations are forecast to be between 10 and 20 cm, though local amounts may be higher in some areas. Strong westerly winds are expected to gust up to 60 km/h. Snowfall totals will vary greatly across the region as the squall bands are expected to shift position considerably.
Timeline
The alert is effective immediately, having begun this morning, and will continue through tonight. Winds are expected to weaken tonight as a ridge of high pressure moves into the region, which will bring an end to the snow squall activity.
