Snow squall warnings in southern Ontario remain in effect Saturday, with as much 40 centimetres of snow expected to fall for parts of the province this weekend.
Snow squall warnings in southern Ontario remain in effect Saturday, with as much 40 centimetres of snow expected to fall for parts of the province this weekend.
The weather warnings are primarily set for the regions surrounding Lake Huron and Georgian Bay as lake effect snow continues to affect the area.
Environment Canada says the snow has "become somewhat disorganized this morning" but is expected to fall more rapidly throughout Saturday, with snowfall of up to 40 centimetres possible for some areas by Sunday.
The snowfall could even be higher, should the snow squalls remain stationary over one region, the weather agency notes.
A snow squall watch is also in effect for Kitchener and Waterloo, with local snowfall potentially exceeding 15 centimetres.
"Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common," Environment Canada says.
In some areas, the winds are forecasted to reach speeds of up to 60 km/h, the federal agency says, prompting reduced visibility and potentially hazardous travel conditions due to the blowing snow. If visibility is reduced while Ontarians are out on the road, Environment Canada urges motorists to slow down, look out for tail lights ahead and be ready to stop.
