Discussion: Flurries near Lake Superior today will intensify this evening as a weather system approaches. Local snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm are expected particularly for areas near the lake shore. Southwesterly winds gusting up to 50 km/h will create areas of blowing snow giving reduced visibility. Conditions should improve through Thursday morning.

Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
