Snowfall Warning lifted for Toronto but further flurries loom

The Snowfall Warning issued by Environment Canada on Tuesday has been lifted, but further flurries are in the forecast.

Following Wednesday’s heavy snowfall, Toronto woke up on Thursday morning to a blanket of snow.

While the morning is currently calm, the sky is cloudy, and there’s a 40% chance of flurries happening in the AM.

What’s more, flurries are expected in the afternoon, with a risk of snow squalls as well, with both expected to continue into the night.

Locally, about 2 cm of accumulation is expected, and while the temperature high will rest at -4°C, the wind chill will have temperatures feeling like -13°C.

Friday’s forecast is similar to Thursday’s, offering up flurries with a risk of snow squalls and local blowing snow. Tomorrow, 5 to 10 cm of accumulation is expected, and the high will be -3°C but will feel like -16°C in the morning.

All of that’s to say: a full balaclava will certainly be appropriate attire.

The weekend will bring sunnier skies, though Saturday still serves up a chance of flurries both day and night, with a high of -4°C and a nighttime temp of -8°C. Sunday warms up to 1°C, with flurries only anticipated in the evening.

As of now, the beginning of next week looks to be mild, with Monday and Tuesday being 4°C and 7°C respectively.

Periods of flurries or rain are called for on Monday, while Tuesday shows periods of just rain.
