The city is welcoming December with a mix of wintry weather, including flurries, snow, and cold wind chills in the upcoming week.
Residents of Toronto started their Monday with a mix of sunny spells and clouds, along with a slight chance of flurries in the early morning. Winds from the northwest around 20 km/h, gusting up to 40 km/h, gradually calmed by midday. The daytime high is expected to reach -1°C, but due to the wind chill, it felt more like -12°C in the morning and -3°C in the afternoon.
As Monday night unfolds, the skies will become overcast with snow showers starting around midnight. Accumulation of 2 to 4 centimetres is possible, accompanied by winds up to 15 km/h. The temperature will drop to -5°C overnight, with wind chills hovering around -11°C.
On Tuesday, snow showers will persist through the morning before conditions transition to cloudy. Light winds up to 15 km/h will prevail, with a daytime high of 1°C. The morning wind chill will create a sensation closer to -8°C. Expect clear skies on Tuesday night, with temperatures plummeting to -5°C.
Southern Ontario experienced relentless wintry conditions on Sunday, prompting snowfall warnings across the region. As Hydro One reported power outages affecting several hundred customers, a new low-pressure system moving north from the U.S. East Coast is poised to bring another round of snow overnight.
Starting in southwestern Ontario, light snow will spread from Windsor along the Lake Erie shoreline, reaching Niagara, Hamilton, and the western Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Further north, lake-effect snow bands will persist, leading to dangerous road conditions. Highways 69 and 11 between Parry Sound, Sudbury, and North Bay could witness heavy snowfall, with localized areas expecting 20 to 50 cm of accumulation.
