Wind gusts up to 70 km/h
According to Environment Canada, two to four centimetres of snow and up to 70 km/h wind gusts are expected to hit Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton, while Markham and areas of Durham Region could see two to five centimetres of snow, with up to five centimetres or more on higher ground north of Lake Ontario, per CP24.
Markham and Durham Region are under the yellow-coded snowfall warning as part of its new colour alert system.
The most common, yellow alerts are issued when “moderate, localized, and/or short-term” hazardous weather may cause damage, disruption or an impact on health, reported the National Post.

The weather agency states that travel will be challenging in areas with snowfall warnings, as visibility can be reduced at times.
Multiple rounds of snow last week has already dumped close to 60 centimetres off Lake Huron, with areas west of Kitchener experiencing close to 30 centimetres of the white stuff.
Snow is expected to change to flurries in most areas later Sunday.
