- Duration: Snowfall from the first system is expected to diminish by 8 p.m. Tuesday, giving way to light flurries.
- Second Weather System: This system will arrive overnight, bringing an additional three centimetres of snow to Toronto.
Regional Snow Forecasts
Snowfall amounts are projected to vary across Ontario. Higher totals are expected due to lake enhancement caused by gusty winds:

Rain and Temperature Changes
As temperatures rise, some areas may experience rain instead of snow by Wednesday afternoon. Morrison noted that this shift could lead to slushy conditions. The temperature is forecast to reach about 2°C, with wind chill making it feel as cold as -11°C at times.
