Lake effect snow squalls will take over Friday morning, and continue into Saturday. Local whiteouts at times are possible in heavy and blowing snow due to the snow squalls.

A Snow Squall Watch will likely be needed for areas east of Lake Huron and southeast of Georgian Bay to address this concern for Friday and Saturday.
