Snow squalls expected. What: Significantly reduced visibility in heavy snow and blowing snow. Snowfall accumulations up to 5 cm. When: Continuing through overnight. Additional information: Significantly reduced visibility will be the primary concern as opposed to snowfall accumulation as snow squalls are expected to shift through the area rather quickly. ### Travel will likely be hazardous. Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #ONStorm. For more information about the alerting program, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/environment/weather/severeweather/weather-alerts/colour-coded-alerts.

Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.
