Snow and cold temperatures are expected to return to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) after a week of spring-like temperatures, with flurries and below zero wind chills in the forecast for Friday.
Environment Canada is forecasting a 30 per cent chances of flurries Thursday morning for Toronto, with a wind chill of -10.
Then, on Friday, periods of snow or rain are expected throughout the day, before a 40 per cent chance of flurries at night with a low of -6 C.
“Five centimetres is looking likely at this point for the GTA, although there is still uncertainty when it comes to the track of this clipper, which could change snowfall amounts,” CTV News Toronto weather anchor Lyndsay Morrison said.
“At this point, it is also safe to say that some areas could get closer to 10 cm or more, especially northwest of here. Temperatures could also end up factoring in, so if it’s mild enough, there might be some mixing which would lessen the snowfall totals.”
Toronto and the surrounding areas are coming off of four consecutive days of double digit temperatures, the first spring-like weather of the year after multiple “deep freezes” blanketed the GTA this winter.
More snow could hit the city on Sunday as well. Environment Canada is calling for “periods of snow” with a 60 per cent chance of flurries or rain showers.
