Squalls are now blowing across southeastern Superior and will only get worse over the next 36 hours.
Weak squalls are already blowing snow into regions from Pancake Bay to the Sault and St. Joseph Island/Desbarats area. The coverage and intensity will only get worse later today. Below is a map of 7pm and you can see the intense band expected to hit the Sault dead-on. At the same time squalls will blow north of the city.
The Sault could easily see 20-30cm by midday Friday and locations north of the city could see double that, in the most intense squall lines. Winds are expected to be stable and the squalls will setup, nearly stationary over some locations for 24 hours, starting tonight.
Regions to the east, south of Laird Hill, St.Joseph Island and the western North Channel will see squalls today while regions north of Laird Hill, like Echo Bay, will see more action tomorrow.
Squalls are very unpredictable but intense. So some locations may see little snow while others will get a ton! Winter’s here to stay!
