A snowfall warning has been issued by Environment Canada for Hamilton and Niagara as a blast of rain and snow is expected to hit the regions Saturday.
A low-pressure system making its way through most of Southern Ontario overnight will spread across the Golden Horseshoe.
Heavy snow is expected to bring close to 15 cm of accumulations during the morning and afternoon on Saturday. Wind gusts will create areas of local blowing snow, according to the weather agency.
Snow will turn to rain and light flurries on Saturday night.
