CP24’s Bill Coulter says the GTA will feel warmer temperatures on Tuesday but will experience a mix of rain and snow.
Back to-back weather systems could drop up to eight centimetres of snow on Toronto by Wednesday morning, with higher accumulations possible in some parts of the GTA.
CTV News Toronto Weather Anchor Lyndsay Morrison says that the first of two Alberta Clipper weather systems will arrive in the city at around noon.
She says that the first system will result in about three centimetres of snow in the City of Toronto with total accumulation elsewhere in the GTA ranging from two to five centimetres.
The snowfall associated with that system is expected to taper off by around 8 p.m. and give way to some lingering flurries but another system will then arrive in the GTA overnight, resulting in an additional 3 centimetres of snow for Toronto.
Morrison says that snowfall totals elsewhere in Ontario could be much higher due to a “little bit of lake enhancement as a result of some gusty winds.”
Kitchener could see 14 centimetres of snow by early Thursday morning while London could get 16 centimetres.
Higher snowfall accumulations are also in the forecast for north of Toronto, with Orillia and Caledon both expected to see a combined 12 centimetres from the back-to-back systems.
“There is a little more rain associated with the second system so by about midday on Wednesday we may be experiencing wet weather as opposed to snow. It might be a little bit of a slushy mess for you,” Morrison said. “The reason for that rain is the temperature is going to rise but it cools right back down by Thursday.”
The temperature is expected to hover around zero today but could feel as cold as -11 with the wind chill.
On Wednesday a high of 2 C is forecast, as the snow gives way to rain in some parts of the GTA.
