The weather agency is calling for reduced visibility as snow squalls develop off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay later today.

The squalls could shift south Tuesday afternoon.

A little further west, Owen Sound, the Blue Mountains and Northern Grey County are also under a Snow Squall Warning today.

Snow squalls can cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common.

Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations.

Environment Canada asks drivers to prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.
