MARATHON, Ont. – Environment Canada has issued a weather advisory for the Marathon-Schreiber area, warning of possible snowfall that could make driving conditions hazardous Sunday night.

The agency expected only 5 to 10 centimetres of snow in most of the area from near Marathon to Montreal River Harbour overnight, but warned it could fall heavily for brief periods, with 10 to 15 centimetres possible in some locations.

"Poor winter driving conditions from low visibility and accumulating snow on untreated highways are expected to develop this evening," read an advisory posted just before 4 p.m.

Conditions were expected to improve by Monday morning as snowfall tapered off into scattered flurries. Updates are available on Environment Canada's website.
