A spring storm is targeting parts of southern Ontario with the potential to bring heavy snow to parts of the province.
Environment Canada issued recommendations for Monday’s winter travel for much of southern Ontario.
Most of the Toronto area is expected to receive between four and eight centimeters of snow, which will begin on Monday night and last until Tuesday.
The Toronto and Niagara region are not currently under any recommendations, although there is potential for some snow.
The onset of rain is likely to begin as rain on Monday afternoon, before turning to snow when temperatures drop, Environment Canada reported.
Hamilton, Guelph, Kitchener, Blue Mountains, Owen Sound, Sarnia and Hanover could see snowfall speeds of three centimeters per hour at the peak of the storm, Environment Canada reported.
Markham, Aurora, Newmarket, Barry, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Georgina, Pickering, Oshawa and Uxbridge are also under winter recommendations and should expect up to eight centimeters of snow.
WX winter travel tips cover most of SW # Ontario now, as a scattered mix of snow and rain is moving this afternoon. # Toronto is not currently under advice, but that could change very quickly. I will have your full forecast at noon on @CTVToronto.

“Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow,” Environment Canada said Monday. “Be prepared to adjust your driving to changing road conditions.”
Winter weather will clear up by Wednesday, when temperatures will rise to about 10 degrees, in sunny skies, in the Greater Toronto area.
