Snow squalls expected this evening through Wednesday.

Discussion:
An Alberta Clipper will impact the region today for which a winter weather travel advisory is currently in effect. This evening, brisk westerly winds are expected to develop in the wake of the clipper leading to the development of lake effect flurries and snow squalls. These flurries and snow squalls are expected to end late Wednesday afternoon as winds become southeasterly.

Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Road closures are possible.
