==DISCUSSION==
SNOW SQUALLS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. UNDER THE SNOW SQUALL BANDS,
VISIBILITY WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED DUE TO THE HEAVY SNOW

TOTAL SNOWFALL: POSSIBLY 15 CM IN SNOWSQUALLS.
MAXIMUM WIND GUSTS: NORTHERLY 50 KM/H.

REMARKS: A COLD NORTH TO NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL LIKELY LEAD TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SNOW SQUALLS. COLD TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY WINDS WILL
COMBINE WITH FRESH FALLEN SNOW TO CREATE BLOWING SNOW.
PREPARE FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF QUICKLY CHANGING AND DETERIORATING
TRAVEL CONDITIONS. SNOW SQUALL WATCHES ARE ISSUED WHEN LOCALIZED,
INTENSE SNOWFALL CAUSING RAPID ACCUMULATION AND/OR REDUCED
VISIBILITY IS POSSIBLE.
