According to Kelsey Mcewen, meteorologist at CTV Your Morning, southern Ontario and Quebec will receive warm air with showers or thunderstorms today.
A winter storm warning has been issued for northeastern Ontario, with 20-750px of snow and hail likely to fall between this afternoon and tomorrow evening, resulting in reduced visibility.
