A brief period of heavy snow and reduced visibility is likely early this afternoon. Roads may become snow covered and icy.

A west-to-east band of lake effect snow has developed over northern Lake Huron and Georgian Bay and will move south across the area.

Areas under the most intense portion of this band could receive snowfall amounts near 5 cm.

Visibility will be significantly and suddenly reduced due to heavy snow and blowing snow.
