Blowing Snow Advisory in effect for:

Goderich – Bluewater – Southern Huron County

Listowel – Milverton – Northern Perth County

Stratford – Mitchell – Southern Perth County

Wingham – Blyth – Northern Huron County

Flurries combined with brisk westerly winds are likely to produce frequent low visibilities over regions east of Lake Huron beginning this evening, and will continue through Thursday.

Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations. Visibility may be significantly and suddenly reduced to near zero.

Weather Advisories for blowing snow are issued when winds are expected to create blowing snow giving poor visibility to 800 metres or less for at least 3 hours.

Environment Canada meteorologists will update alerts as required, so stay tuned to your local media or Weatheradio. Email reports of severe weather to [email protected] or tweet with the hashtag #ONStorm.

Special weather statement in effect for:

Goderich – Bluewater – Southern Huron County

Listowel – Milverton – Northern Perth County

Stratford – Mitchell – Southern Perth County

Wingham – Blyth – Northern Huron County

Another round of snow for much of Southern Ontario.

A fairly fast-moving disturbance centred just west of the Great Lakes this afternoon will track into Northeastern Ontario tonight. A relatively small amount of snow in the order of 5 centimetres is expected to affect most areas of Southern Ontario. Some areas near the Great Lakes may get a little more due to enhancement off the open water.

The snow spread into Southwestern Ontario this morning and will envelop the Niagara, Greater Toronto and areas north of Toronto during the afternoon. The snow may be a nuisance for the late afternoon commute especially in the Toronto region. The snow will likely accumulate quite readily on any untreated roads due to the recent cold conditions. Some local blowing snow may accompany the snow in some areas too, especially this evening when the winds pick up.

The snow will move into Central and Eastern Ontario either late this afternoon or tonight. It will taper off from west to east tonight except very early Thursday morning in Extreme Eastern Ontario.
