Snow squall watch in effect for:

Conditions are favourable for lake effect snow squalls from Lake Huron and Georgian Bay to develop overnight and continue into Friday.
Local snowfall amounts near 15 cm are possible in the heaviest snow squalls.
Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. 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.
Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.
