A significant winter storm is set to sweep through the region tonight into Saturday morning, bringing hazardous conditions and urging caution for residents. Here’s what you need to know:
- Heavy snowfall with accumulations ranging from 15 to 25 cm.
- Peak snowfall rates anticipated at 3 to 5 cm per hour.
- Strong wind gusts, reaching up to 70 km/h, leading to substantially reduced visibility in blowing snow.
The storm is expected to bring a snowfall starting this evening, quickly escalating to heavy precipitation at times during the night. As Saturday morning approaches, the snowfall is expected to transition to lighter periods. Adding to the challenge, strong easterly winds will gust up to 70 km/h, compounding visibility issues, particularly during heavy snowfall.
Surfaces, including highways, roads, walkways, and parking lots, may become challenging to navigate due to accumulating snow. Be prepared for sudden reductions in visibility to near zero, especially during periods of intense snowfall and blowing snow.
Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Exercise caution if travel is unavoidable, and stay updated with local weather advisories for the latest information on the evolving situation.
Stay safe, stay informed, and brace for winter’s firm hold on the region over the coming hours.
