Another winter storm is expected to hit Toronto and its surrounding areas mid-week that could bring more than 15 centimetres of snow, Environment Canada says.

We’ll start the weekend with some bands of sea-effect snow blowing across the Atlantic provinces through the day Saturday. Heavy snowfall rates and wind gusts over 50 km/h will lead to locally difficult travel conditions, especially in western Newfoundland, on the Burin and Avalon Peninsulas, and Cape Breton.

Environment Canada issued a weather advisory for parts of Ottawa, forecasting 5-10 cm of snow to fall through the day, turning into possible freezing drizzle in the afternoon.
