Discussion:
A low pressure system is expected to track northeast across Lake Erie and Lake Ontario Thursday night which could bring a messy mix of wintry precipitation to southern Ontario. Precipitation will likely begin as rain Wednesday afternoon and transition to snow Wednesday overnight. As temperatures drop to below the freezing mark Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, icy and slippery conditions are possible, as water on roadways and surfaces will freeze.
At this time the track of the low pressure system is uncertain, and as such precipitation type, timing and amounts may change.
