Environment Canada issued a snow squall watch for London, Parkhill, Strathroy, Komoka and Middlesex County on Wednesday morning.

Officials with the national weather agency say their current models show the squalls will extend from near Grand Bend inland towards Strathroy and Mount Brydges.
Highways 402 and 21 will be impacted by the system and Highway 401 to a lesser extent.
Travel may be hazardous if the squalls produce heavy snow and visibility could be suddenly reduced.
