A winter storm is likely Wednesday and Wednesday night, according to Environment Canada (EC), which has issued a special weather statement for Durham Region.
A winter storm from a Texas Low appears likely to affect much of Southern Ontario and parts of Northeastern Ontario. Latest indications suggest that snow will move into Southwestern Ontario and the Golden Horseshoe Wednesday morning and spread northeastward reaching the Quebec border late Wednesday afternoon, it said.
There remains much uncertainty regarding the track of this low, but total snowfall amounts of 10 to 25 cm are possible by Thursday morning.
“Motorists should be prepared for poor winter driving conditions due to low visibility in heavy snow and quickly accumulating snow,” said EC.
It added that apart from significant snowfall, freezing rain or rain is also possible. The precipitation may begin as snow then change to rain or freezing rain or continue as snow.
