Tuesday is expected to be cloudy with snow beginning around noon in the forecast. The risk of freezing rain could start late afternoon with a wind chill of -10 in the morning, blowing southeast at 30 kph.

A major winter storm is expected to move into portions of southern Ontario, as snow could be heavy at times with a risk of freezing rain. The snow is expected to change to rain Tuesday night as temperatures rise above the freezing mark.

Environment Canada says difficult travel conditions are likely with the risk. Snowfall warnings or winter weather travel advisories may be issued for some regions as this event draws nearer.
