Winter storm watch

Winter storm watch in effect for:

  • Wawa – Pukaskwa Park
  • White River – Dubreuilville

A significant winter storm is expected Sunday night into Monday.

A low-pressure system is expected to track over Northeastern Ontario Monday bringing snow and blowing snow to the area. Snow is expected to begin late Sunday evening before becoming heavy overnight. Northerly winds gusting near 60 or 70 km/h are also likely resulting in widespread blowing snow. Snow and blowing snow will continue Monday and taper to flurries Monday night.

Total snowfall amounts near 25 to 35 cm are possible.

There is some uncertainty in snowfall amounts as a slight shift in the track and strength of this low-pressure system may drastically change associated snowfall amounts.

Avoid travel if possible. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery.
