Southern Ontario could see significant snowfall or messy wintery mix

It could be a very messy mix of weather for our region late this week and weekend.

According to Environment Canada, several disturbances are originating in Texas that are expected to track towards the Lower Great Lakes on Friday.

The weather agency says at this time it is tough to target the exact location of the front  which will determine whether the precipitation falls as rain, freezing rain, ice pellets or snow.

In a special weather statement, they say the more potent disturbance approaches Southern Ontario on Sunday.  This system is expected to grab moisture from the gulf and could bring significant snowfall accumulations to Southern Ontario Saturday night through Sunday.  A significant area of freezing rain or ice pellets could fall across the Lower Great Lakes.

Environment Canada says there is still considerable uncertainty surrounding the disturbances that are tracking our way.  A slight change in the storms tracks could affect the precipitation types and amounts.  However there is a very good chance travel could be impacted over the weekend.  Motorists are advised to monitor the situation and Environment Canada will issue any watches or warnings if necessary.
