Snow squalls are expected to move through parts of southwestern Ontario Sunday, bringing periods of poor visibility and localized snowfall.

Environment Canada says lake-effect snow off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay will continue through the morning before dissipating later in the afternoon.

Local accumulations of up to 10 centimetres are possible.

“The main threat with these snow squalls will be poor visibility in blowing snow and bursts of heavier snow,” the warning read in part. “Snowfall accumulations should not be overly significant. Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Consider postponing non-essential travel and outdoor activities until conditions improve.”
