Northern Ontario: Snowfall Outlook for Saturday, January 8, 2022

Forecast Discussion

A system from Manitoba is expected to slide across Northern Ontario during the day on Saturday. It will bring the potential for widespread snowfall accumulation ranging from 6 to 12cm by the end of the day. There is some areas around the Lake Superior shoreline including Marathon and Wawa that could pick up closer to 15-20cm due to lake enhancement. The snowfall will start near midnight around the Manitoba border and spread eastward throughout the morning and into the afternoon. We expect it will move out just after the dinner hour but could linger later in the evening for Northeastern Ontario. Those in Northeastern Ontario just to the north of Georgian Bay will mostly be unaffected with less than 2cm of accumulation expected. The rest of the province will see widespread accumulating snowfall.
