Areas of southern Ontario are receiving snow and freezing rain as a series of low-pressure systems move in from the United States, creating a slippery morning commute for some.
However, temperatures are expected to rise this afternoon.
Environment Canada has issued freezing rain warnings for much of southern Ontario as the warm front moves along a northeasterly path. Precipitation will change from snow to freezing rain and then just rain in many areas.
Although some regions, including London and Sarnia, have already reported freezing rain, warnings were lifted in those areas around 6 a.m. ET. Other areas, stretching from Kingston to Parry Sound, are still under warnings, according to an update from Environment Canada at 8 a.m. ET.
Around midnight, Toronto began receiving snow, which changed to freezing rain just ahead of the morning commute. A total of 150 flights were delayed or cancelled at Toronto's Pearson International Airport as of 6 a.m. ET, and several traffic collisions were reported around the city.
A number of schools across Ontario cancelled bus service.
As the system moves northeast, it will bring snow to an area stretching from Georgian Bay down to Peterborough and regions along the eastern shores of Lake Ontario. This precipitation will change to freezing rain this afternoon and evening.
Temperatures in Toronto were expected to rise this afternoon to a high of 2 C as the freezing rain turns to rain. Tuesday could see highs of 8 C and thunderstorms.
Warnings for Quebec
Environment Canada also issued freezing rain warnings for southwestern Quebec for Tuesday.
Manitoba was expected to see light snowfall although four to eight centimetres were expected in the north.
Southern Alberta is expected to see colder temperatures beginning tomorrow, as the mercury drops by 15 degrees or more. Parts of the province are already experiencing the cold, and Environment Canada issued a wind chill warning for the area around Rainbow Lake in the northwest, with –40 C forecasted into Tuesday morning.
