Storm headed for Southern Ontario sparks weather warnings

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement about snow headed for southern Ontario.

The agency says an Alberta clipper will deepen as it approaches Lake Superior this evening, and snow will spread from west to east.

Snow will begin in the western areas this evening over, reaching south central Ontario after midnight and eastern Ontario early Saturday.

The snow will end from west to east during Saturday afternoon, and into the evening in eastern Ontario.

General snowfall amounts of five to 10 centimetres are expected.

Amounts of 10 centimetres or more are likely with southwest winds off the Great Lakes.
