Region could see as much as 20 cm of snow Christmas Eve through Christmas Day

Environment Canada has updated its special weather statement adding more snow.

Rain developing tonight followed by potentially heavy snow Thursday evening into Friday.

Rain is forecast to begin tonight ahead of an approaching low pressure system. As the low pressure system lifts northward Thursday, the rain is forecast to transition over to snow. The snow may become mixed with ice pellets or freezing rain for a period Thursday or Thursday night. By Friday, Christmas Day, the snow may become heavy at times, resulting in hazardous travel conditions. Local blowing snow is also possible.

Snowfall accumulations in the 5 to 20 cm range will be possible, with the majority of the snow falling early Friday morning, which is Christmas morning.

Snowfall Warnings may be required.

There remains considerable uncertainty as to the exact track of the low pressure system responsible for the rain and snow. This will ultimately affect how much snow may fall at a particular location.
