Snow squalls expected late today
North Bay and area could see another 15 cm of snow
Article content
A snow squall watch is in effect for North Bay, Powassan, Mattawa and West Nipissing.
Snow squalls are expected to develop later today as a result of strong southwest winds which will usher in colder air.
Accumulations tonight may exceed 15 cm in some spots. However, the snow squalls should shift from time to time, which should help limit the accumulations. Areas of very poor visibility in blowing snow are likely, as well.
These snow squalls may slowly shift southward on Wednesday.
Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
Snow squall watches are issued by Environment Canada when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near-zero visibilities.
