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.

Snow squalls off Lake Ontario possible on Tuesday. What: Significantly reduced visibility in heavy snow and local blowing snow. Local snowfall amounts near 10 cm. When: Beginning Tuesday morning and ending Tuesday evening. Additional information: Lake effect snow squalls may impact the region beginning Tuesday morning. The main concern will be low visibilities due the intense snowfall rates and localized blowing snow. The snow squalls will clear the area Tuesday evening. ### 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. 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.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
