YELLOW LEVEL ADVISORY - BLOWING SNOW - FOR:
      DEMPSTER.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPACT LEVEL: MODERATE
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: HIGH

==DISCUSSION==

POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW IS EXPECTED IN SOME 
LOCATIONS.

WHERE: DEMPSTER HIGHWAY NEAR THE RICHARDSON MOUNTAINS 

WHEN: THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON 

DISCUSSION: 
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL YUKON 
THIS AFTERNOON, BRINGING PERIODS OF FLURRIES AND STRONG EASTERLY 
WINDS TO PORTIONS OF THE DEMPSTER HIGHWAY NEAR THE RICHARDSON 
MOUNTAINS. 

THE COMBINATION OF FRESH SNOWFALL AND STRONG WINDS WILL REDUCE 
VISIBILITY AT TIMES, RESULTING IN HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS. 

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH BY MONDAY AFTERNOON, WITH 
IMPROVING TRAVEL CONDITIONS THEREAFTER.

TRAVEL WILL LIKELY BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY. PROTECT 
YOURSELF FROM WIND, COLD AND DISORIENTATION BY STAYING SHELTERED, 
INDOORS OR WITH YOUR VEHICLE. BLOWING SNOW ADVISORIES ARE ISSUED 
WHEN WIDESPREAD POOR VISIBILITY IN BLOWING SNOW IS EXPECTED. 

PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY 
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
