We're in for a rough next 24 hours.
A special weather statement is is in effect for:
North Bay - Powassan - Mattawa
West Nipissing - French River
A wintery mix of precipitation is in store for much of Northern Ontario.
An intensifying weather system currently over Kansas will track towards Lake Michigan tonight and cross Northeastern Ontario Monday. This system will bring significant weather to much of Northern Ontario.
Northeastern Ontario: temperatures will remain mild tonight through Monday.
Patchy drizzle and fog will give way to rain, at times rather heavy, later tonight, and a general rainfall of 20 to 30 mm is expected by Monday night.
The rain is then forecast to change to snow Monday evening, as temperatures drop below zero. Most areas will receive around 5 cm or so of snowfall on Monday night, and gusty northerly winds will result in some blowing snow as well.
Travellers should give themselves extra time due to potentially slippery roads due to freezing rain or accumulating snow. Low visibilities may also occur in snow and blowing snow.
