yellow warning - winter storm - in effect

Service Notice – November 2025: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For 2025, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's initiative to upgrade the presentation of alerts into Colour-Coded Weather Alerts is tentatively set for deployment November 26, 2025. Data changes will appear in CAP following this deployment, 2) the alert name ‘extreme cold warning’ will change to ‘cold warning’, 3) two Public zone names will change in Saskatchewan, 4) ECCC's initiative to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard continues, there will be changes coming to CAP and 5) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – novembre 2025: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour 2025, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) l'initiative d'ECCC visant à améliorer la présentation des alertes sous forme d'alertes météorologiques codées par couleur est provisoirement prévue pour un déploiement le 26 novembre 2025. Des changements aux données apparaîtront dans le PAC suite à ce déploiement, 2) le nom de l’alerte ‘avertissement de froid extrême’ changera pour ‘avertissement de froid’, 3) deux noms de zones publiques seront modifiés en Saskatchewan, 4) l’initiative d’ECCC visant à introduire des polygones libres pour représenter la véritable zone de menace d’un danger météorologique se poursuit. Des changements seront également apportés au PAC et 5) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures. Pour plus d’informations sur ces changements: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/

Effective: Sat January 31, 2026, 3:35 PM
Expires: Sun February 1, 2026, 7:35 AM

Heavy snowfall and high winds are expected. Total snowfall: 20 to 35 cm, with locally higher amounts possible. Maximum wind gusts: northeasterly 70 to 80 km/h, except 90 along parts of the coast. Time span: early Sunday evening until early Monday afternoon. Remarks: Strong winds accompanying the snow will reduce visibility at times in blowing snow. Localized bands may produce higher snowfall totals over some areas. Recent computer guidance has been trending to reduce the amount of snow expected in the above areas and thus there is some uncertainty as to where the heaviest snow will fall. However, there is not strong agreement and even a slight shift back could still bring even higher amounts for these areas. The system is just now in the early stage of development and its evolution will be very closely monitored. ### Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate. Local utility outages are likely. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NSstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #NSStorm. For more information about the alerting program, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/environment/weather/severeweather/weather-alerts/colour-coded-alerts.

Consider postponing non-essential travel and outdoor activities until conditions improve.
