Snow, rain, and freezing rain impacting Southern and Central Ontario
Severe weather will be the order of the day across parts of Ontario.
Portions of southern Ontario and northeastern Ontario will see snow and blowing snow today.
Snowfall amounts of 5 to 20 cm are possible depending on location before snow either switches to rain or continues as snow on Wednesday. The highest likelihood for a switch to rain are across most of southwestern Ontario and along the north shore of Lake Ontario.
Heavy snow and blowing snow are expected to last into Wednesday for central and northeastern Ontario.
There is a risk of freezing rain along the Ottawa Valley in the evening.
Areas near and just north of the shoreline of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario will see snow at first and a quick transition to rain. Rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm are possible. An area such as Toronto may see more rain downtown near the shore compared to areas in the north part of the city, which may see more snow before a switchover, reducing overall rainfall amounts.
Severe weather continues on Wednesday.
Northeastern Ontario and areas east of Lake Huron will see snow and blowing snow in the morning with 10 to 15 cm is possible.
Portions of eastern Ontario along the Ottawa Valley will continue to see freezing rain.
Eastern Ontario will see an additional 10 to 15 mm of rain.
