Service Notice - September 2024: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For Fall 2024, changes are expected to include... 1) location adjustments to the new Coastal Flooding Warning Program that has been implemented back in Spring 2024, 2) Marine Warning Program and Hurricane Warning Program (for tropical cyclone information statements only) will start to use water zone splits, 3) new parameters in CAP will be created to represent the weather event's start time and the weather event's end time, 4) ECCC's initiative to upgrade the presentation of alerts into a risk-colour tiered structure is in progress. Existing elements’ values will be updated and new parameters will be added in a future release, 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 - septembre 2024: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour l’automne 2024, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) des ajustements aux zones du nouveau programme d’avertissement d’inondations côtières qui a été mis en œuvre au printemps 2024, 2) le programme d’avertissement marine et le programme d’avertissement des ouragans (seulement pour le bulletin d'information sur les cyclones tropicaux) commenceront à utiliser des divisions de zones maritimes, 3) de nouveaux paramètres seront créés dans le PAC pour représenter l'heure de début et l'heure de fin de l'événement météorologique, 4) l'initiative d'ECCC visant à améliorer la présentation des alertes en les classant selon une structure de niveaux de risque par couleur est en cours. Les valeurs des éléments existants seront mises à jour et de nouveaux paramètres seront ajoutés dans une prochaine version, et 5) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Lake effect snow squalls continue. Hazards: Locally heavy snowfall with accumulations near 60 cm. Peak snowfall rates of 5 to 10 cm per hour. Very poor visibility at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. Power outages possible due to the heavy wet nature of the snow. Timing: Continuing through Wednesday night, with the heaviest snowfall expected Wednesday. Discussion: Lake effect snow squalls have developed off Georgian Bay. These snow squalls may shift through the night, but they are expected to lock into place by Wednesday morning as a low pressure system moves across the area, enhancing snowfall amounts. Snow squalls will then move south out of the area Wednesday night. ### Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Road closures are likely. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.

Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. If you must travel, keep others informed of your schedule and destination and carry an emergency kit and mobile phone. Public Safety Canada encourages everyone to make an emergency plan and get an emergency kit with drinking water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight.
