A band of snow currently located over Lake Huron is forecast to pivot southward late Thursday morning. Snow will become heavy at times before shifting south of the area Thursday evening.

In the wake of this band of snow, lake effect flurries will develop. These flurries will also be heavy at times.

Travel conditions are likely to be affected during the periods of heaviest snow.

It will be the second blast of snow the region has received earlier this week after a quick moving weather system moved through London early Wednesday morning.
