Environment Canada is urging motorists to drive with caution during their morning commute as several forms of precipitation are expected.
A wintry mix of snow and ice pellets, along with the risk of freezing rain, will begin in Southwestern Ontario Monday morning.
Snowfall amounts with this low pressure system are not expected to be significant – with only 2-4 cm forecast throughout the day – but travelling conditions will worsen and may become hazardous after the snow arrives.
Accumulated snow on untreated roads and gusty winds may cause whiteout conditions and motorists are advised to drive carefully as visibility may be low. Environment Canada suggests motorists reduce speed and allow for extra time to reach their destination.
A cold front extending across Southern Ontario Tuesday morning will bring more flurries and a return to cooler temperatures.
