The strongest snow squalls are capable of producing visibilities near zero in bursts of heavy snow and local blowing snow as well as snowfall rates of 1 to 3 cm per hour. Local snowfall amounts of up to 15 cm are possible under the heaviest bands.
Today, wind west 40 km/h gusting to 60. High minus 12. Wind chill minus 27.
It has also issued a less serious snow squall watch for southern Huron County.
Snow squalls currently affecting portions of Grey – Bruce and northern Huron County are expected to shift south later today.
Motorists should be prepared for poor winter driving conditions as sudden reductions to visibility are possible in heavy snow and blowing snow.
