Snowfall warning for Chatham-Kent

Significant snowfall is forecast for tonight and Wednesday.

A developing low pressure centre over Mississippi is forecast to track into Southern Ohio overnight. It is already tapping into moisture from the Gulf of Mexico which is spreading northwards in the form of a large area of snow just south of the Great Lakes. Snow has begun over parts of southwestern Ontario and is expected to spread over the rest of southwestern Ontario this evening then the Golden Horseshoe and Niagara towards midnight.

Total snow amounts of 15 to 20 cm are likely in the warned regions with amounts in excess of 20 cm possible.
