According to the advisory issued at 11:30 a.m., a “well-organized” snow squall originating from Lake Huron will move across the county on Friday afternoon. It will be capable of producing quick accumulations of 2 to 5 centimetres of snow in an hour along with sudden reductions to near-zero visibility in heavy snow.

This band is expected to move out the region by early Friday evening, Environment Canada stated.

“Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations,” the advisory noted.
