19 h. ago It will be 20 degrees in Ontario this weekend but don't celebrate winter's end yet

It may feel as if spring has finally sprung in Toronto, but residents shouldn't let this week's mild conditions fool them, because there are still apparently a few colder days to come before the winter is over.The city has been graced with a few days of sunny skies and double-digit temperatures reminiscent of early patio season, and as of Wednesday afternoon, the short-term forecast shows even balmier weather is on the way this weekend, albeit peppered with rain.Unfortunately for those eager for the changing seasons, though, a chill will return soonafter.While The Weather Network (TWN) says thermometers will hit 16 C at the city's airport on both Saturday and Sunday — with other parts of the province potentially seeing temps as high as 20 C — those out and about are in for a swing of around 20 degrees within mere hours as things drop down to 0 C or colder.TWN is calling for a low of 0 C and a wind chill of -5 C overnight Sunday, and Environment and Climate Chan...

2 w. ago Ontario end of winter and early spring weather forecast has arrived

Based on Ontario's weather thus far this week, you wouldn't be blamed for thinking that spring is making an early arrival in the province. But, the glimmer of these few balmier days is set to be short-lived, with minus double digit temperatures and more snow on the way for parts of the province in the coming days.So, what climate is in store for the Toronto area and beyond in March as we shed our winter layers?Meteorologists are anticipating a return to more seasonal conditions as we kick off the month, with another 10-15 cm (or more!) in the south of the province thanks to another dose of back-to-back storms."The warmth doesn't mean the end of winter weather. In fact, snowfall will return to the province as the next system brings a coating of snow, and even a chance of freezing rain and drizzle for some areas," The Weather Network wrote on Tuesday.Wouldn't be the worst idea to set the alarm a little earlier tomorrow morning around the #GTA for ris...
