Residents in parts of Huron County are being advised to prepare for quickly changing weather conditions as a special weather statement has been issued by Environment Canada.
The advisory covers areas including Exeter, Goderich, Bluewater, and southern Huron County.
Forecasters say the region could see between 4 and 8 centimetres of snow beginning Monday evening and continuing into Tuesday morning. Brief bursts of heavy snow and blowing snow are expected, which could significantly reduce visibility and make travel difficult.
Strong northwest winds are also in the forecast, with gusts reaching between 70 and 80 kilometres per hour. The strongest winds are expected closer to the Lake Huron shoreline.
Officials warn that road conditions may change quickly, and drivers should be prepared for hazardous travel. There is also a risk of local power outages due to the strong winds.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated by monitoring weather alerts and forecasts and to use caution if heading out during the storm.
