Affected areas include Sault Ste. Marie, Parry Sound and Burk's Falls.

The flurries are expected to create dangerous driving conditions and will last until Tuesday morning. 

"Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow," the agency warns.

Drivers are being reminded to turn on their lights and maintain a safe following distance.

The Greater Toronto Area will largely avoid the effects of the incoming weather pattern.

However, according to The Weather Network spots could see up to 3 centimetres of snow Monday night.
