It looks like the time has come to layer up in warm clothing and get those vehicles winter-ready as colder air settles across southern Ontario, with snow possible later in the week.

Cool air is already settling over western Canada, where temperatures are running 10 to 15 degrees below seasonal, according to The Weather Network and this push of cold air is expected to move east toward Ontario in the coming days.

Forecasters say conditions could support multi-day lake-effect snow, particularly in snowbelt regions downwind of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron.

Here’s what the weather looks like for the week of Nov. 22 to Nov. 28:

Sunday will be mainly cloudy with a 40 per cent chance of morning drizzle, shifting to rain later in the day. Brisk winds will make conditions feel cooler, as daytime highs reach 8 C. Cloudy periods are expected to continue overnight with a low near 0 C.

Monday will bring a brief return to sunny conditions with temperatures rising to 8 C. Clouds will move in by evening with a 30 per cent chance of showers and a low of 4 C.

Periods of rain will develop on Tuesday with a high of 8 C. Rain is likely to continue overnight while temperatures stay at 8 C.

Wednesday will be cloudy and windy, with a 60 per cent chance of showers. Temperatures will rise to 11 C, making it the warmest day out of the whole week. Colder air may move in by evening, bringing a 30 per cent chance of flurries, as temperatures drop to -1 C.

Cloudy skies return on Thursday, bringing a 40 per cent chance of flurries. Winds will remain elevated, and the high will reach 1 C. Snowfall remains possible overnight with temperatures falling to –2 C.

Another cloudy day is expected on Friday with a 30 per cent chance of snow and a high of 1 C. By evening, temperatures will drop sharply to –8 C.

Environment Canada has issued no weather advisories as of yet for southern Ontario, including areas such as Mississauga, Brampton, Halton, Hamilton and Durham, although that could change if conditions shift later in the week.
