Rain, ice pellets to impact Saturday's drive
Toronto area drivers could be in for a slushy ride Saturday as the region as a mixed bag of winter weather targets the region.
Environment Canada has put out a special weather statement for the GTA, warning of a mix of snow followed by rain, with potential for freezing rain as well. 5-10cm may blanket portions of central and eastern Ontario. Lake effect snow continues to be a problem in Cottage Country as well, with squall warnings in effect for Barrie and Orillia.
Here in the city, we can expect 3-7cm of ice pellets through the afternoon, turning into rain for the evening. That's enough to ensure slippery road conditions and a slow weekend commute.
The good news is that temperatures are poised to warm up for your Sunday with 6 degrees forecasted. Temperatures will plummet though for your Monday, just in time for the return to work.
