Rain, wet snow on the way to southern Ontario
Winter is making a comeback in Ontario on Monday as a weather system brings rain, wet snow, strong winds and chilly temperatures to the province.
In Toronto, rain is expected to begin falling in the morning before changing over to wet snow. The temperature will fall and remain steady near 2 C as winds gust to 70 kilometres-per-hour, Environment Canada said.
For many regions, wet snow will persist through Monday night and Tuesday morning before gradually tapering off.
Over parts of eastern Ontario, snow will change back to rain in Monday afternoon or evening with ice pellets possible during the transition, Environment Canada said in a special weather statement.
While significant amounts of snow will fall, actual accumulations on the ground will be limited because the temperature will be just above the freezing mark, the national weather agency said.
The greatest snowfall amounts are expected over the Dundalk Highlands and the Haliburton, Muskoka and Algonquin regions, where total accumulations of 10 to 15 centimetres are possible by Tuesday morning, Environment Canada said.
Lesser amounts are expected elsewhere, with only a few slushy centimeters likely for most regions, according to the special weather statement.
More rain and strong winds are expected Tuesday, along with a high of just 7 C.
The rest of the week will bring highs between 8 C and 13 C.
Normal temperatures for this time of year are highs of 14 C and lows of 5 C.
