Environment Canada issued a special weather statement warning that a storm may bring substantial snow to Waterloo Region, Guelph, and nearby areas.
The “early spring storm” is expected to arrive on Tuesday and continue until Thursday, according to the statement.
The agency states that a Colorado low is responsible for the storm, which is anticipated to start as rain before changing to snow on Wednesday.
According to Environment Canada, the Oak Ridges Moraine and the area along the Niagara Escarpment northwest of the Greater Toronto Area are most likely to experience significant snowfall.
The statement cautions that wind gusts of up to 70 km/h could occur, with communities along the shores of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay potentially experiencing gusts of up to 80 km/h.
Environment Canada cautions that travel may become “hazardous” due to the snow and decreased visibility.
The agency says it remains very uncertain about the storm’s path.
“Confidence is low as there is a high degree of uncertainty about the low’s track, which will have significant effects on temperatures, snowfall amounts, and whether and when rain will turn into snow,” the statement explains.
