A special weather statement and snow squall watch is in effect for Huron-Perth on Wednesday as well as snow squall and flash freeze warnings for Grey-Bruce.

Winds are expected to gust upwards of 80 km/h with sudden icy conditions on roads and walkways.

“[I’m] tracking a sharp cold front that will move through…we will see some active weather firing up,” said Atchison. “As we head into Wednesday, a cold front will cross with strong northwest winds and a drop in temperature.”

Atchison said the potential for showers and thunderstorms overnight Tuesday will be cause for cloudy conditions Wednesday morning with the chance for showers.
