Impact Level: Moderate

Forecast Confidence: High


Blizzard conditions with poor visibility in snow and blowing snow are expected.

A low pressure system approaching the Kivalliq coast from the east will bring strong northeasterly winds on Sunday along with 5 to 10 cm of snow.

The combination of 70 km/h wind gusts and falling snow will give near-zero visibilities in falling and blowing snow.

Blizzard conditions will ease Monday morning as winds diminish.

Travel will be hazardous due to near-zero visibility.

Blizzard warnings are issued when near-zero visibility in blowing snow is expected.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NUstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on X using #NUStorm.
