"Although total snowfall amounts are not expected to be overly significant, the hourly snowfall rates may result in roads and highways becoming quickly snow covered and slippery."
"Five to eight centimetres of snow starting later Friday morning. At times, it could fall at rates of two to four centimetres an hour. Visibility will be reduced in areas that get heavy snow."
"When the temperature falls on Friday night, roads and sidewalks may become icy. Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions."
Toronto faces a winter weather event Friday with 5-8 centimetres of snow expected starting late morning. Snowfall rates of 2-4 centimetres per hour will create rapidly deteriorating road conditions and reduced visibility in heavy snow areas. Although total accumulation is moderate, the intense hourly rates will quickly cover roads and highways with slippery snow. The precipitation will transition to rain showers Friday afternoon as temperatures rise above freezing. However, Friday night poses additional hazards as falling temperatures will create icy conditions on roads and sidewalks. Residents should prepare for quickly changing travel conditions throughout the day.
