Snowfall for the weekend arrives midday Saturday.

Very cold Arctic air over the regions will be kicked out of southern 

Ontario Saturday as an Alberta clipper moves in to the lower Great

Lakes.  Temperatures will be on the rise right through Saturday night 

but will still remain a few degrees below the freezing mark.

The storm will give general amounts of 10 to 15 centimetres over a 24 

hour period with the greatest variation due to inputs of snow 

generated over the open water on the Great Lakes moving onshore. 

Snowfall warnings may be issued for a couple of regions however for 

most areas expect a blanket of 10 centimetres during the Saturday 

afternoon or evening periods.

Listen for further statements.  Additional information may also be 

found by consulting the latest public forecast.  The next public 

forecast will be issued by 3.30 PM.
