Snowfall Warning
Issued at 4:09 PM EST Wednesday 9 November 2011
Summary
First Major snowfall of the season tonight into Thursday.
Details
A low pressure system over lower Michigan will track across Northeastern Ontario tonight and reach James Bay Thursday afternoon. Snow ahead of this system has arrived as expected with the bulk of the snow forecast to fall tonight into Thursday morning. Snow amounts of near 15 cm are expected for the corridor extending from just north of Wawa through White River, Hornepayne and Hearst to the western sections of the Fraserdale - Pledger Lake region. Along the southeastern edge of the corridor, from near Wawa to Kapuskasing, some melting is expected with temperatures near or just above freezing. As a result, snow may become mixed with rain and ice pellets, reducing total amounts. Periods of heavier snow will result in reduced visibility at times. Motorists should be prepared for hazardous driving conditions today as the snow arrives, and plan for much extra travel time to reach their destination
