The national weather agency said the snow is expected to develop this evening over much of southwestern Ontario and move eastward to the GTA early Tuesday morning.
Snowfall accumulations near 10 cm are likely before the snow changes to rain.
“We’re looking at a weather system forming over Colorado later today and it’s going to move towards the Great Lakes tonight,” Environment Canada severe weather meteorologist Rob Kuhn said.
Environment Canada said snow will change to rain late in the morning in southwestern Ontario and late in the afternoon in the Greater Toronto Area.
