Description

Details

Blizzard conditions with poor visibility in snow and blowing snow are expected to develop this morning. Southerly winds will strengthen this morning, with gusts up to 90 km/h expected. Combined with falling snow, these strong winds will result in widespread blowing snow and poor visibility through the afternoon and evening. Conditions will gradually improve later this evening, although intermittent blowing snow and reduced visibility can still be expected at times through the overnight hours.

Impacts and guidance

Travel will likely be hazardous. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected], call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on social media using #NUStorm.

Instructions

Limit travel and outdoor activities, if possible. If you become lost or stranded, remain where you are until conditions improve.

Description

Détails

Du blizzard et une visibilité réduite sous la neige et dans la poudrerie devraient apparaître ce matin. Les vents du sud s'intensifieront ce matin; on prévoit des rafales jusqu'à 90 km/h. L'effet conjoint de ces vents forts et de la neige qui tombe occasionnera de la poudrerie généralisée et une visibilité réduite au cours de l'après-midi et de la soirée. Les conditions s'amélioreront graduellement plus tard ce soir, mais la poudrerie intermittente et une visibilité réduite sont attendues par moments au cours de la nuit.

Impacts et conseils

Les déplacements seront probablement dangereux. 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.

Instructions

Limitez les déplacements et les activités en plein air, si possible. Si vous vous perdez ou vous restez bloqué, restez où vous êtes jusqu’à ce que les conditions s’améliorent.
