A snowy weekend for much of Southern Ontario.
Periods of snow will continue today but become gradually lighter this afternoon. Further snowfall amounts of 5 to locally 10 centimetres are likely by this evening when the snow should end.
Motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination due to accumulating snow.
The snow affecting Southern Ontario this weekend is courtesy of a low pressure centre currently over Michigan. It will track across Georgian Bay this morning and into southern Quebec by this evening. Although it is a relatively weak system, it has absorbed additional moisture from the Great Lakes to produce a general seasonal snowfall across the region.
