Mix of winter weather expected across northern Ontario

Along the southern shore of James Bay into Hornepayne snow is expected on Tuesday. Snowfall amounts of up to 10 cm in just a few hours accompanied by strong winds and blowing snow could reduce visibility to near zero at times.

Across far northern Ontario and areas north of Lake Superior, a cold front will bring a mix of rain and snow to the area Tuesday morning. Temperatures will fall rapidly as the front passes Tuesday afternoon, potentially leading to a flash freeze.

Strong winds are expected Tuesday afternoon and evening across parts of far northwestern Ontario north and west of Fort Severn. Gusts to 80 km/h are possible.
