Update 4 p.m.

Current details: 
Snow squalls are expected. Under the snow squall bands, visibilities will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow, and snow will quickly accumulate.

Some lake effect flurries are affecting areas close to Georgian Bay this afternoon, mainly near and north of Parry Sound. Weather radar shows that the activity is slowly intensifying. The snow squalls are expected to be fairly strong through the night while slowly drifting southward.

Local snowfall amounts of 15 cm are possible.

The snow squalls are expected to shift southeast of Georgian Bay Tuesday morning and weaken.

Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
