Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for several northern communities including Elliot Lake, Sault Ste. Marie and Manitoulin Island and the surrounding areas.

Up to 15 centimetres are expected across the region, with particularly heavy snowfall in the morning.

The weather agency says bands of snow off Lake Superior may mean some areas around Sault Ste. Marie could see more than 20 centimetres of snow by this evening.

Squalls could continue after the main snowfall and drivers are advised to take caution.
