Winter storm warning in effect for:

  • Wawa – Pukaskwa Park

Major winter storm with 20 to 30 cm of snow and blowing snow today and tonight.

Snow will be heavy at times through this evening with total snowfall amounts of 20 to 30 cm are likely by tonight.

In addition, northerly wind gusts of 60 to 70 km/h are expected this afternoon through tonight resulting in very poor to almost nil visibility in blowing snow. Near blizzard conditions are possible.
