Discussion

Snow squalls will continue affecting portions of the snowbelt regions Friday, with up to 50 centimetres possible for some areas by the end of the day.

Extreme cold will be the main story for Friday, as wind chills will be near -30ºC for many areas through the morning and afternoon hours. The coldest wind chills are likely Friday night into Saturday morning, where portions of Central Ontario will likely see wind chills fall below -35ºC. Ensure you are adequately dressed for the cold temperatures. Bring pets indoors.

Throughout the day Friday, wind gusts of 50 to 60 km/h are expected across the region. Blowing and drifting snow is likely once again. Poor visibility and poor road conditions will be expected through the day, and road closures may be possible.

Snow squalls are expected to continue Saturday, however amounts are yet to be confirmed. Wind chills for Saturday afternoon are expected to moderate slightly, with many areas seeing wind chills near -20ºC.

Some widespread snow will be possible Sunday into Monday, however many details remain uncertain.
