Mississauga (Jan 8) – The national weather service has issued an advisory for parts of several areas in Ontario including Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton.
“Snow associated with a storm system is expected to move into portions of southern Ontario on Tuesday,” Environment Canada said in an alert posted on its website. “The snow may be heavy at times before changing to rain later in the day.”
Snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm are possible, although amounts may be significantly lower closer to Lake Ontario where snow may change to rain sooner, as per the advisory.
Difficult travel conditions will be likely once the snow arrives, Environment Canada warned saying that at this point, it appears that the heaviest snow will arrive after the morning commute, but that the afternoon commute could be significantly impacted.
In areas near Lake Ontario, if the snow changes to rain earlier, rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm appear possible.
Winter weather travel advisories may be issued for some regions as this event draws nearer, the weather service said on its website.
