==DISCUSSION==

BRIEF, INTENSE SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. UNDER THE SNOW 
SQUALL, VISIBILITIES WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED DUE TO THE HEAVY 
SNOW COMBINED WITH BLOWING SNOW.

TIMING: 
THIS EVENING OR OVERNIGHT. 

DISCUSSION: 
A SNOW SQUALL ALONG A SHARP COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BRING A BURST 
OF HEAVY SNOW AND NEAR ZERO VISIBILITY FOR A SHORT DURATION LATER 
TODAY OR TONIGHT. IN ADDITION, TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL 
RAPIDLY BEHIND THIS COLD FRONT.

TRAVEL MAY BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO SUDDEN CHANGES IN THE WEATHER. 

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