Snow squall watch in effect for:
- Wawa – Pukaskwa Park
- White River – Dubreuilville
- Agawa – Lake Superior Park
Snow squalls likely Saturday.
Snow squalls are expected to develop on Saturday for regions close to Lake Superior. At this point, it looks like the strongest activity will be between Montreal River and Wawa.
Snowfall accumulations of 15 to 25 cm are possible in the most persistent snow bands by Saturday evening.
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.
Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.

Extreme Cold Warning in effect for:
- Agawa – Lake Superior Park
- Wawa – Pukaskwa Park
- White River – Dubreuilville, and most of Northern Ontario
A multi-day episode of very cold wind chills is expected.
Extreme wind chills of minus 40 to minus 45 are expected across much of Northern Ontario tonight and Saturday morning.
This arctic air mass will remain entrenched over the region through the weekend and into early next week, bringing a prolonged period of extremely cold wind chills.
Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.
Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.
If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside.
