BLIZZARD WARNING - REPLACES WINTER STORM WATCH FOR:
CLYDE RIVER.

==DISCUSSION==
A BLIZZARD IS EXPECTED IN CLYDE RIVER SUNDAY AS A STRONG LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM AFFECTS BAFFIN ISLAND.
THE BLIZZARD IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS SUNDAY
AND PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE DAY. NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO 70 KM/H
COMBINED WITH FALLING SNOW WILL GIVE VERY POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW
AND BLOWING SNOW. THE BLIZZARD SHOULD END EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO
NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY. IF YOU DO TRAVEL AND BECOME LOST, REMAIN WHERE
YOU ARE UNTIL THE BLIZZARD HAS PASSED.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
NUSTORM(AT)EC.GC.CA, CALL 1-800-239-0484 OR POST REPORTS ON X USING
