Heavy snow could hit Thunder Bay

THUNDERBAY -- A special weather statement has been issued for the city of Thunder Bay.

According to Environment Canada, heavy snow is possible later Tuesday night into early Wednesday.

Snow ahead of a deepening low pressure area from the Southern Plains States is expected to hit Northwestern Ontario Tuesday night.

Snow may become heavy at times for a few hours with many areas receiving 10 to possibly 15 centimetres by Wednesday morning.
