After a weekend of unseasonably mild weather, southern Ontario is about to get a harsh reminder that winter is still here.
A powerful Texas Low is expected to impact the region Tuesday evening, bringing with it colder temperatures and heavy snows.
The GTA can expect to receive 2-5cm Tuesday afternoon with an additional 10-20cm overnight heading into Wednesday morning. Freezing rain and ice pellets may also pose problems in areas along the Lower Great Lakes. Exact amounts will depend on how the storm tracks.
Environment Canada warns commuters to be prepared and alter their plans accordingly. A winter storm warning is currently in effect for most of southern Ontario. Watches are in effect for the Ottawa Valley.
This same storm is also causing issues down in the United States, bringing heavy snow and the potential for freezing ran across a large swath of the eastern seaboard from Chicago to the Carolinas.
Both Pearson and Billy Bishop report that flights are operating normally as of Monday morning. However, they remind travellers to check for delays before heading out.
