Strong wind gusts of up to 50 km/h will also hit the regions, reducing visibility due to blowing snow.

"Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow," an excerpt from the warning states.

Areas in the GTA, including Toronto, are also expected to get hit by snow this week. However, they will only see around three centimetres on Tuesday and four centimetres on Wednesday.
