It wouldn't be April in Ontario without a last dusting or two. ❄️
Snow on cars that are driving.
The weather in Ontario is taking a wintry turn just in time for the weekend and it might mess with your plans.
The wet and rainy weather the province has been experiencing is expected to turn into snow and it's going to dump up to ten centimetres of snow in some spots.
The spring storm that's been hitting Ontario will continue on Friday with powerful northwest wings later in the day, according to The Weather Network, with the Greater Toronto Area expecting to see up to and possibly more than 10 millimetres of rain throughout the day.
"Winds will continue to pick up through the day on Friday, with gusts between 50-70 km/h expected across much of the GTA, possibly reaching 60-80 km/h for areas from London to Barrie through the evening hours," says TWN.
"Even gustier conditions are expected along the shores of Lake Huron, where wind gusts could reach 100 km/h before easing by Saturday morning."
On Saturday, northeastern Ontario is expected to see five to ten centimetres of snow. The brunt of the precipitation is expected around the Timmins area, but cottage country and Sudbudy could also see some accumulation and southern Ontario could see a dusting.
It's not all bad news though.
"Looking ahead, abundant sunshine and pleasant conditions will take hold for early next week, as temperatures rebound above seasonal," says TWN. "Forecasters expect another dose of cooler weather to arrive heading into the following weekend."
Hopefully that doesn't bring any snow with it!
