These areas could see between two and five centimetres of snow.
However, Environment Canada said some areas could see higher amounts of snowfall accumulation due to easterly winds off of Lake Ontario.
Because this is the first snowfall of the season for many cities, Environment Canada is advising drivers to be vigilant as roads may become slippery.
