Additional Information
Lake effect snow originating from Lake Huron is expected to impact Lambton County this evening, possibly spreading to areas near the eastern shore of Lake Huron by Monday morning. Snow squalls may also reach toward Lake Erie. Northerly winds will shift to northwesterly late Monday into early Tuesday, causing lake effect snow to affect areas east and southeast of Lake Huron further.
The snow is expected to lessen in intensity by Tuesday morning. Visibility may suddenly drop to near zero at times, and accumulating snow will make roads and walkways challenging to navigate. Travelers should prepare for quickly changing and worsening conditions.
