Snow today, frost tonight

The passage of an Arctic cold front will usher in much cooler air across the district today.

A swath from Red Lake to Timmins will likely see rain changing to snow this morning before the precipitation tapers off from northwest to southeast throughout the day.

Snowfall amounts are expected to be light, however, a few centimetres are possible.

Partial clearing combined with light winds tonight will produce favourable conditions for frost.

Temperatures are expected to drop to near or below the freezing mark in all of the above regions.

A frost warning will likely be issued later today.
