Whiteout conditions possible in Ottawa Sunday as snow falls
A snow squall watch is in effect for Ottawa Sunday, with forecasters saying heavy snow could reduce visibility at times.
“Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather,” the weather alert says. “Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for brief but intense bursts of heavy snow producing near zero visibilities.”
Environment Canada issued the snow squall watch Sunday morning. The weather forecast for the penultimate day of Winterlude calls for a few flurries in the morning and snow squalls in the afternoon on Sunday with clouds and a high of -2 C.
We’re expecting 2 to 4 centimetres of snow Sunday.
The National Capital Commission has announced that the Rideau Canal Skateway will be open for skating between Bank Street and the Pretoria Bridge starting at noon, but the overnight snowfall prevented crews from additional flooding of the ice surface, so the NCC is warning of very poor ice conditions.
“We recommend walking over skating,” the NCC said Sunday morning.
Another 2 to 4 cm of snow is expected Sunday night with a risk of blowing snow. The overnight low is -14 C.
Family Day Monday’s forecast is sunny with a high of -2 C.
Tuesday is looking partly sunny with a high of -2 C.
Heavy snow for Ottawa Valley, St. Lawrence Seaway
Outside the city, Environment Canada is warning of dangerous travel conditions and heavier snowfall.
Snowfall accumulations of 10 to 15 cm are expected in the Upper Ottawa Valley, while the Brockville area could see 5 to 10 cm.
Heavy snow could reduce visibility on the roads to zero at times, making travel hazardous.
A snow squall warning is in effect in the Kingston area, with lake effect snow squalls continuing through the day before moving south of the area in the evening.
“In addition, southwesterly winds gusting up to 80 km/h will accompany these snow squalls resulting in significantly reduced visibility in blowing snow,” Environment Canada says.
