Up to 40cm possible in snow squalls
Lake effect snow squalls expected to hit this afternoon. Meteorologists warn of locally heavy snowfall, with total accumulations reaching 30 to 40 centimeters. You can expect peak snowfall rates of 3 to 5 centimeters per hour, leading to reduced visibility and local blowing snow.
These conditions will develop off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, shifting south by Tuesday afternoon. Travelers should prepare for rapidly changing weather—clear skies can quickly turn to heavy snow within just a few kilometers, making travel difficult.
