The weather forecast for Tuesday indicates potential complications for travel plans across Ontario, particularly due to slippery roads. Significant weather changes are expected, especially in the southwestern regions and the Golden Horseshoe.
Weather Changes Across Ontario
By Tuesday evening, areas in southwestern Ontario will transition to rain. Meanwhile, regions such as the Niagara Escarpment, Barrie, and Peterborough will experience snowfall. This wintry mix is expected as warmer air struggles to move fully across eastern Ontario.
Snow and Rain Forecast
In anticipation of the weather changes, the forecast predicts varying amounts of precipitation:
- Southwestern Ontario and Golden Horseshoe: Transition to rain by evening.
- Niagara Escarpment, Barrie, and Peterborough: Anticipated snowfall.
- Eastern Ontario: Mainly snow, with some pockets receiving a wintry mix.
- Kingston: Possible freezing rain due to warmer air from Lake Ontario.
Snowfall accumulation may vary significantly. Areas north of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are expected to see:
- 5-10 cm of snow in eastern Ontario and cottage country.
- Heaviest snowfall north of Highway 7 towards Ottawa.
- Potential totals exceeding 10 cm in Georgian Bay and cottage country.
Ongoing Weather Patterns
This week’s weather continues to be active, with two additional systems predicted to affect the region. Travel plans may need to be adjusted based on these changing conditions. Citizens are encouraged to stay informed and prepare for possible disruptions.
