Snowfall, with total amounts of 15 to 20 cm is expected.

Heavy snow will develop ahead of a low pressure system early Wednesday morning. Snowfall amounts of 15 centimetres are expected across Victoria county and the Renous area. Strong southeasterly winds will likely produce local blowing snow in exposed areas. The snow is expected to change to rain later in the afternoon.
