Heavy snowfall warning sparks urgent travel alert in Brockville–Prescott

The snow is forecast to end from west to east tonight, but conditions may remain difficult through the evening commute

Heavy snow and blowing snow continue to affect the Brockville–Prescott area as an Alberta clipper moves through, bringing an expected 15 to 20 centimetres of snowfall. Environment Canada says visibility will be reduced at times as the system continues to push across the region.

The snow is forecast to end from west to east tonight, but conditions may remain difficult through the evening commute. Roads and walkways are becoming hard to navigate, and officials warn that rush hour traffic may be significantly slowed by accumulating snow. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to allow extra travel time and use caution.

Environment Canada is asking residents to monitor updated alerts and forecasts as the storm progresses. People can report severe weather by emailing ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or posting on X using the hashtag #ONStorm. More information on the national alerting program is available through the agency’s colour-coded weather alerts.
