Environment Canada issues a snow squall warning

Hey, Huntsville and area, it may be raining now but Environment Canada has issued a snow squall warning for this afternoon. You’re confused? Try being a bird! Drive safe out there!

Issued Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022

Heavy flurries and local snow squalls beginning late this afternoon.

Hazard:
Locally heavy snowfall of 15 to 25 cm.
Wind gusts of 60 to 80 km/h in combination with the new snowfall resulting in significantly reduced visibility in snow and blowing snow.

Timing: Late this afternoon through early Thursday morning.

Discussion:
Locally heavy flurries and snow squalls are forecast to develop late this afternoon in the wake of a strong cold front. These flurries and snow squalls will last through tonight before shifting south of the area early Thursday morning.

###

Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
