These strong winds combined with falling snow are expected to cause poor visibility in blowing snow through the day on Thursday.

Description
Détails
Une dangereuse tempête hivernale devrait commencer mercredi soir ou dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi et occasionner des vents destructeurs et une visibilité réduite dans la poudrerie. Des vents forts et persistants du sud se lèveront ce matin et s'intensifieront ce soir, cette nuit et jeudi. On prévoit des rafales de 80 à 90 km/h à compter de tôt jeudi matin. L'effet conjoint des vents forts et de la neige qui tombe devrait réduire la visibilité dans la poudrerie jeudi en journée.
Impacts et conseils
La visibilité pourrait être subitement réduite à presque nulle par moments. Des pannes de courant sont possibles par endroits. Veuillez continuer à surveiller les alertes et les prévisions émises par Environnement Canada. Pour signaler du temps violent, envoyez un courriel à [email protected], appelez au 1-800-239-0484 ou publiez un message sur les réseaux sociaux en utilisant #NUMeteo.
