Ontario's weather has been all over the place lately. Thanks to a combo of gorgeous sunshine and powerful winds, Thursday will be no different, leaving residents wondering, is it nice out or not?
According to The Weather Network, despite getting off to a rainy, cloudy start, Thursday will be a sunny day for southern Ontarians with double-digit temperatures expected. Hooray!
What's the catch? The region will also see widespread gusty winds that could reach up to 70 km/h, so if you're a hat person, you might want to wear it a little tighter than usual today.
The winds will be so intense that special weather statements have been issued for several areas, including London, Waterloo, Windsor, Barrie and Hamilton.
"Winds are forecast to shift to the southwest late this afternoon with gusts up to 70 km/h possible. Winds are expected to ease this evening," Environment Canada warns.
"Strong winds combined with saturated ground conditions may make it easier for damage to trees to occur," it adds.
Unfortunately, the nasty conditions will continue through the end of the week, with even more clouds and showers arriving on Friday and wind gusts expected to get even stronger.
In fact, surface-level winds could reach between 60 to 80 km/h by Friday in some areas.
Residents will want to bust out their coats over the weekend. Some areas will see temperatures drop below the freezing mark, with the possibility of flurries.
It would appear that spring is also taking the long weekend off, so you might want to move the egg hunts indoors this year.
