Toronto is about to get hit with a messy shot of mid-April snow this weekend
Though many bars and restaurants in Toronto have already kicked off their patio season this far into spring, anyone hoping for some continued warm weather this Easter weekend are out of luck.
是的,它可能是4月中旬,近一个月ince winter technically ended, but snow is indeed in the forecast for parts of Southern Ontario in the coming days, including T.O.
The forecast for the city calls for a messy mix of both rain and snow on Saturday in particular under cloudy skies and amid 7 C temps — not exactly in line withthe few hot and sunny dayswe've been teased with thus far.
There are also some dangerous winds in the cards, along with full-on flurries and "well below seasonal temperatures" for most of the region over the weekend,the Weather Networkreports.

"After a brief taste of summer-like warmth across parts of Southern Ontario on Wednesday, special weather statements now line the region for windy days ahead," the agency says in its latest forecast.
Winds will reach nearly 50 km/hour today in Toronto, and have already hit as high as 80 km/h in other parts of the area as of this morning. Residents are advised to hold onto their hats, while damage to trees and property may occur.
Friday will also be a windy one, with scattered showers to boot. By nightfall, "some light mixing or snow flurries may be possible," TWN says, with wet snow expected to accumulate on the ground in parts of the GTA and cottage country as thermometers drop.
This is all in linewith the long-term spring forecastthat predicted huge climate swings and topsy-turvy weather pushing through May, after which we can look forward to some more consistent, balmy conditions.
I know that I live in Ontario and our springs are just generally very wet and gloomy and volatile in terms of temperature fluctuations but why is there rain AND snow in the forecast for the long weekend T___T

While we will see double digits in Toronto on Friday, it will drop to the aforementioned 7 C on both Saturday and Sunday, which will feel as cold as 4 C. Nighttime will be chilly, too, at only 2 C Friday night, -2 C Saturday night and right on 0 C on Sunday night.
Temps also unfortunately won't be pushing above 9 C in the week ahead and there may even be a bit more snow on Monday, though we can hope that spring makes its comeback soon after.
