Heavy snow and blowing snow is expected. Total snowfall amounts of 15 to 30 cm. Reduced visibility in heavy snow and blowing snow.

Beginning Tuesday night and ending from west to east through the day on Thursday.

Strong northerly winds will also accompany the snow, leading to possible blowing snow that could reduce visibility to near zero at times. There remains uncertainty with the exact track of the low pressure system, and therefore the corridor of heaviest snowfall.

Total snowfall amounts may exceed 30 cm for some locations north of Lake Superior.

Roads and walkways may be difficult to navigate. Visibility may be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Road closures are possible. Consider rescheduling travel and outdoor activities.

Editor’s Note: A Winter Storm Watch means that all the factors and indicators are in place for a Winter storm to occur. When the storm begins this Watch will become a Storm Warning.
