Lake effect snow squalls tonight.
Lake effect snow squalls are expected to become organized late this afternoon or early this evening and weaken early Saturday morning.
Under the heaviest snow squalls, visibilities will be significantly reduced and snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm will be possible.
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.
