Residents in the Southern Niagara Region can expect to be hit by heavy snow Friday night into Saturday morning, according to Environment Canada.
Canada’s weather agency has issued a snow squall warning for Niagara Falls and Welland, and a weather statement encompassing all of Niagara region warning of high winds.
“Local snowfall amounts near 15 cm are expected. However, if the strongest snow squall from Lake Erie is able to lock in and become stationary for a few hours, snowfall amounts of up to 25 cm are possible” Environment Canada said in a release.
Visibility is expected to be near zero at times with the heavy snow and blowing snow.
The agency is recommending motorists change travel plans accordingly.
