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.

Snow squalls are occurring. Under the snow squall bands, visibilities will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow, and snow will quickly accumulate. What: Total local snowfall accumulations of 20 to 40 cm. Peak snowfall rates of 2 to 5 cm per hour are possible. Poor to near zero visibility in snow and local blowing snow. When: Now through Monday. Additional information: Lake effect snow squalls off Lake Superior are expected to continue into Monday and possibly into early Tuesday morning. These snow squalls may shift north of Sault Ste. Marie this evening and remain over Batchawana Bay area for several hours tonight, before spreading into the Sault Ste. Marie area again Monday morning. ### Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. 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.

If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.

Snow squalls are expected to develop Sunday morning. What: Total local snowfall accumulations of 15 to 25 cm. Peak snowfall rates of 2 to 5 cm per hour are possible. Poor to near zero visibility in snow and local blowing snow. When: Sunday morning through Monday. Additional information: Lake effect snow squalls off Lake Superior are expected to develop Sunday morning as a cooler air mass pushes over the Great Lakes along with westerly winds. There still remains a high degree of uncertainty regarding the exact timing of when the snow squalls will ease or shift out of the region late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. ### Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Road closures are possible. 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.
