Snow squalls are expected to develop. Under the snow squall bands, visibility will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow combined with blowing snow, and snow will quickly accumulate. Locations: western Cape Breton. Time span: beginning early Monday morning, and persisting through the afternoon. Remarks: A very cold northwesterly flow of arctic air will likely lead to the development of organized snow squalls on Monday. Snowfall rates may reach 3 cm per hour under the heaviest bands. The risk of squall activity will diminish Monday evening with a wind shift. ### Travel may be hazardous. Visibility may be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Roads and walkways may be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Snow squall watches are issued when localized, intense snowfall causing rapid accumulation and/or reduced visibility is possible. 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.
