WEATHER ALERT
ENVIRONMENT CANADA
*************************
Special Weather Statement in effect for:
- Halton Hills - Milton
Snow changing to rain Tuesday.
Hazard:
Snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm. Hazardous travel conditions. Rainfall amounts near Lake Ontario of 20 to 40 mm possible.
Timing:
Late Tuesday morning to Tuesday evening.
Discussion:
Snow associated with a storm system is expected to move into portions of southern Ontario on Tuesday. The snow may be heavy at times before changing to rain later in the day.
Snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm are possible, although amounts may be significantly lower closer to Lake Ontario where snow may change to rain sooner.
Difficult travel conditions will be likely once the snow arrives. At this point, it appears that the heaviest snow will arrive after the morning commute, but that the afternoon commute could be significantly impacted.
In areas near Lake Ontario, if the snow changes to rain earlier, rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm appear possible.
Winter weather travel advisories may be issued for some regions as this event draws nearer. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
