In it’s latest update to the late-winter storm that struck the region this week, Environment Canada has ended a yellow level watch that snow squalls are on the way this evening.
Earlier tonight, the forecasted advisory for widespread freezing drizzle this evening for the Greater Sudbury and area, Espanola and Killarney, and Manitoulin Island was ended.
The watch advised that “brief, intense snowfall is expected to develop. Under the snow squall, visibility will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow combined with blowing snow.”
Snowfall amounts of between two and five cm of snow were possible, with northwesterly wind gusts of 60 km/h.
“Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or post reports on X using #ONStorm.”
