What:
Snowfall accumulations of 15 to 20 cm possible.

Additional information:
Snow associated with a fast moving low pressure system will begin this afternoon. The heaviest snowfall is expected this evening. A narrow band of lake enhanced snow may develop off Lake Ontario impacting the area overnight. This may lead to snowfall amounts approaching 20 cm. There still remains a high degree of uncertainty as to whether or not the lake enhanced band develops. If it doesn't, then snowfall amounts will be in the 10 to 15 cm range. The snow will taper to flurries early Sunday morning.
Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions.
