A wintry mix of snow and freezing rain may greet parts of southwestern Ontario this weekend, which could impact travel plans.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for London, Middlesex County, Elgin County, Oxford County, Sarnia, and Lambton County.
The weather agency says a low-pressure system is expected to deliver a mix of wintry weather starting Saturday evening and continue through Sunday.
“A few centimetres of snow are expected this evening and then a switch to rain is likely Sunday morning before more cold air arrives and a few more centimetres of snow is possible by Sunday evening,” the statement read.
Total snowfall in these parts is expected to be less than 5 centimetres, however, if the cold air pushes southward over the region then a few more centimetres of snow is possible and travel conditions could become hazardous.
Travellers should be prepared for variable conditions on the roads as surfaces may become slippery at times this weekend.
