A low-pressure system will impact the region and could bring rain, freezing rain, and snow.

Heavy rain is expected in areas north of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Freezing rain will affect most areas from east of Lake Huron to eastern Ontario. Environment Canada says significant ice buildup is also possible.

It’s not known which area will be the most impacted by the system.

There is still uncertainty as to which areas will be the most impacted by this system.
