**************************
Issued at 2024-12-04 5:33PM EST by Environment Canada:
Snow squall watch issued for:
   Innisfil - New Tecumseth - Angus, Ont.

Current details:
Snow squalls possible beginning near noon Thursday.

Hazards:
Locally heavy snowfall with accumulations of 15 to 30 cm possible.
Peak snowfall rates of 2 to 4 cm per hour.
Very poor to nil visibility at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.

Timing:
Midday Thursday through Thursday night.

Discussion:
Heavy flurries are expected beginning near midnight as a cold front moves through. In the wake of the cold front snow squalls from Georgian Bay may extend well inland at times to the region Thursday afternoon and Thursday night.

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. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
