Winter storm in Toronto to bring mix of snow, ice pellets on Tuesday

Another messy winter storm is expected to impact the Greater Toronto Area on Tuesday.

Environment Canada has issued a winter storm watch warning of a mix of snow, ice pellets, freezing rain and strong winds.

The snow is expected to begin early Tuesday morning and mix with ice pellets later in the day.

The weather service says the GTA could receive between 15 and 20 cm of mixed precipitation before ending on Wednesday.

Strong easterly winds gusting to 80 km/h will cause reduced visibility due to blowing snow.

Environment Canada says there is also a risk of freezing rain as the temperature hovers near the freezing mark.

Motorists are being reminded to keep a safe distance between vehicles and to drive according to the changing road conditions.
