WINTER STORM WATCH FOR:

==DISCUSSION==
DEVELOPING STRONG WINDS ON SUNDAY WILL POSSIBLY BRING BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
A SYSTEM OVER DAVIS STRAIT WILL YET AGAIN ACTIVATE THE BARRIER JET
ALONG THE NORTHERN BAFFIN COAST, WHICH WILL BRING WIND GUSTS TO 80
KM/H AT CLYDE RIVER. BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN SOMETIME SUNDAY
MORNING AND WINDS WILL EASE ON MONDAY.
THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE WINDS, AND THUS THE BLIZZARD,
STAYS OFF-SHORE THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.
AVOID TRAVEL IF POSSIBLE. TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TO BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO
REDUCED VISIBILITY IN SOME LOCATIONS. POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY
CONTRIBUTE TO TRANSPORTATION DELAYS.

ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
