Environment Canada has issued a snow squall watch for much of the Kawarthas region for Thursday (November 27).
The snow squall watch is currently in effect for all of Kawartha Lakes, northern Peterborough County, and southern Haliburton County.
Lake effect snow squalls off of Georgian Bay are expected to move through the area Thursday, before locking in place Thursday night.
Local snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm are possible. Strong winds are also expected, further reducing visibility in local blowing snow.
Travel may be hazardous. Prepare for the possibility of quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.
Meanwhile, in Northumberland County, a special weather statement for strong winds is in effect through Thursday afternoon, with strong southwest winds gusting 80 to 90 km/h. Local utility outages are possible. High-sided vehicles will be pushed around by the wind. Loose objects may be tossed by the wind.
