Alberta clipper being blamed for possible early arrival of winter weather in Thunder Bay

THUNDER BAY – Up to 10 centimetres of snow could be headed Thunder Bay’s way by Friday morning.

Environment Canada on Wednesday announced snow is expected to start falling on Thursday morning in areas inland from Lake Superior. It will taper off by the following morning, with roads becoming slippery during the storm and visibility falling because of falling and blowing snow.

The weather has been attributed to an Alberta clipper, forecasted to travel through northern Minnesota on Thursday.
