Snow squall watch in effect for:

Sault Ste. Marie – St. Joseph Island
Searchmont – Montreal River Harbour – Batchawana Bay
Snow squalls are expected to develop tonight and persist into Tuesday.

Intense lake effect snow bands are expected to develop tonight and continue on Tuesday. Areas under the most intense portion of this band could receive snowfall amounts near 10 cm tonight and 10 to 15 cm on Tuesday.

Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.

Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.
