SummaryBrief, intense snowfall is expected to develop. Under the snow squall, visibilities will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow combined with blowing snow. A cold front will sweep through Northern and Central Quebec this evening giving a few snowsqualls as it passes. It will track over Quebec and Trois-Rivières around midnight. Behind the front, a significant drop of temperature will cause slippery conditions on the roads overnight. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.
