Southern Ontario Forecasts Significant Snowfall This Weekend
Southern Ontario is about to experience another bout of winter with a weather system set to bring 5 to 10 cm of snow to Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) on Saturday.
A Colorado low is predicted to sweep through the region, delivering fresh snowfall from Windsor to Toronto and extending into cottage country.
Snow is anticipated to start in southwestern Ontario on Saturday afternoon before gradually spreading into the GTA by the evening.
In Toronto, flurries are forecasted to begin around 3 p.m. before transitioning to light snow as the evening progresses. The heaviest snowfall is expected by 9 p.m. and will taper off early Sunday morning. Up to 5 cm of snow is possible in the southwest portion of the province, including Windsor.
Mississauga, Brampton, Burlington, and Oakville are among other areas that could receive up to 10 cm of snow by early Sunday.
The positive aspect is that the cold temperatures will ensure the snow remains light, with a forecasted daytime high of -4 C in Toronto on Saturday. However, it will feel more like -10 due to wind chill. The cold weather is expected to persist on Sunday, with a chance of flurries in the city.
