This new forecast has revealed that Toronto's weather is getting snowier.

It's expected that up to 10 cm of snow could fall in Toronto and the GTA over the next few days.

According to The Weather Network, there will be "widespread snow and travel impacts" as a wintry weather system moves into southern Ontario on Tuesday, January 28.

Snow is expected to intensify across the snow belt areas through the afternoon and then reach the GTA by the evening.

The Weather Network said that this snow will be "wetter and sticky" which means there will be quite a bit of accumulation as flakes continue to fall through Tuesday night.

Three to more than five cm of snow is forecast for Toronto, along with areas along the northwestern shores of Lake Ontario like Oakville.

Five to 10 cm of snow is expected in the GTA, including Brampton, Mississauga, Markham, Newmarket, Orangeville, Pickering, and more cities.

This snowstorm will be more potent outside of the GTA, with 10 to 15 cm forecast for Barrie, Collingwood, Orilla and surrounding areas.

Also, 10 to 20 cm is expected in places east of Lake Huron, including Mount Forest and Hanover.

Wind gusts are set to strengthen in southwestern Ontario on Tuesday night, causing blowing snow and whiteout conditions in Kincardine, London and surrounding areas.

Then, lake-effect snow will start as the weather system moves out of southern Ontario on Wednesday, January 29. High snowfall totals and "dangerous whiteout conditions" are likely.
