Weather Alerts for: Manitoulin Island

Watches

Snow Squall Watch in effect for:
  • Manitoulin Island

Snow squalls expected Tuesday and Wednesday. Hazards: Locally heavy snowfall with accumulations near 20 cm. Peak snowfall rates of 2 to 5 cm per hour. Very poor visibility at times in heavy snow. Power outages possible due to the heavy wet nature of the snow. Timing: Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday night, with the heaviest snowfall expected Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Discussion: Lake effect snow squalls off Lake Huron and the North Channel will move north into the area Tuesday afternoon. These snow squalls may move through quickly, producing a brief blast of heavy snow and near zero visibilities, but snowfall amounts may not be significant. However, these snow squalls will lock in place Tuesday night as a low pressure system moves across the area, enhancing snowfall amounts. Snow squalls will then move south out of the area late Wednesday. Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Road closures are possible. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. If you must travel, keep others informed of your schedule and destination and carry an emergency kit and mobile phone. Public Safety Canada encourages everyone to make an emergency plan and get an emergency kit with drinking water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight. For information on emergency plans and kits go to getprepared.gc.ca. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
