Winter Weather Advisory in effect for Toronto and Southern Ontario

img

A ‘Winter Weather Travel Advisory’ has been issued for Southern Ontario by Environment Canada for midnight to early Friday morning.

The Special Weather Statement says “Snow is expected to move into the area from the west just after midnight and continue until early Friday morning. At any location, the heaviest snowfall is most likely for the first two or three hours after onset. Snow will then become mixed with or change over to rain overnight, especially near and south of Highway 401.”

Environment Canada is saying that “total snowfall amounts by early Friday morning will be around 5 cm except closer to 2 cm near the Lake Ontario shore.”

In addition to the travel advisory around Lake Ontario, a Snow Squall warning has been issued for Grey-Bruce, Niagara, Parry Sound-Muskoka and Burk’s Falls-Bayfield Inlet.

Road conditions are expected to rapidly deteriorate once the snow arrives. Untreated roads may suddenly become snow covered and slippery. Motorists should allow for extra time to reach their destination.

The first part of the Friday morning commute may be affected, especially in areas where precipitation falls as all snow.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
