Environment Canada's Official Weather Warnings
Warnings
Ignace - English River
5:38 AM EDT Wednesday 11 October 2006
Winter storm warning for
Ignace - English River continued
Heavy snow and strong winds are expected today and tomorrow.
This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.
A sharp Arctic cold front has swept across the regions last night making way for much colder air and a changeover from showers into flurries behind the front.
A low pressure system is slowly forming along the cold front this morning over western Lake Superior then it will begin to rapidly intensify as it moves northeastward across Lake Superior. This very intense weather disturbance is then expected to track northward towards the west coast of James Bay overnight tonight and then begin to move westward towards the Big Trout Lake area. As this low deepens into a Major winterlike storm flurries will intensify into a large area of snow heavy at times later today. The area of snow mainly located from Fort Severn to Thunder Bay today is expected to move westward and expand on Thursday morning.
The highest amounts are expected over the Lake Nipigon..Pickle Lake and Big Trout Lake areas with 15 to 20 centimetres expected by Thursday night. Higher snowfall amounts are expected to stay north of the Atikokan area. Strong northwesterly winds are also expected to develop this evening in some regions causing very low visibility in exposed areas from blowing snow.
Travellers are strongly advised to exercise extreme caution and prepare for hazardous winter driving conditions from snow and local blowing snow. As this is the first Major winter storm event of the season there is potential for this to have significant impact across the district.
The exact location of the heaviest snow will depend on the track of this developing storm. Environment Canada will closely monitor the track and evolution of this winter storm.
