A more widespread area of snow is expected to arrive during the late afternoon which may affect the commute home for some folks. Additional snowfall amounts near 5 cm are likely tonight. There is also the possibility of locally higher snowfall amounts up to 10 cm closer to the lakeshore due to enhancement off of Lake Ontario.
