Drivers should prepare themselves for a messy commute Monday.
Environment Canada has issued a winter weather travel advisory for Toronto and the GTA, calling for up to 10 centimetres of snow by the end of Monday.
“The snow will move in this afternoon and intensify through the evening hours and last through the overnight,” Global News meterologist Ross Hull said.
“This is not a particularly powerful system but with breezy southeast winds and still some cold air in place, there will be the potential for enhancement off Lake Ontario.”
Hull said three to six centimetres of snow is expected across the GTA, but some “areas that find themselves under some lake effect snow bands could see up to 10 centimetres.”
The snow will have an impact on the evening commute and Hull warns commuters should give themselves extra time to get around Monday night.

Environment Canada warned roads “may quickly become icy” and visibility may become an issue at some points.
The snow will taper off by Tuesday morning for most areas, but some parts of the GTA could still see some lingering flurries.
The temperature is expected to remain below zero, with a high of -3 C Monday and -8 C Tuesday.
