A Colorado low sweeping into the Great Lakes is responsible for this spell of winter weather across southern Ontario.
It's officially spring, but Friday's snow across southern Ontario could bring one of the largest one-day snowfall totals of the year.Spring has sprung, but winter certainly isn't going out without a fight across southern Ontario. A low-pressure system south of the border is grazing the region to end the week, producing a bout of snow that’ll continue into the evening and overnight hours on Friday. In fact, this could be one of the biggest one-day snowfalls of the year for some areas, with 10-15 cm forecast into Saturday. Easterly winds blowing off Lake Ontario could enhance snowfall rates a bit in the Golden Horseshoe, helping to slightly increase snowfall totals around Toronto and Hamilton.
Snow will taper off for most of southern Ontario overnight Friday into the wee morning hours on Saturday. Widespread snowfall totals of 5-10+ cm are expected from Windsor straight up Highway 401 toward Cornwall. Accumulations of about 10 cm are likely right around the Golden Horseshoe, which could bring Toronto its largest single snowfall of the season.5-10 cm of snow isn’t much in the grand scheme of weather hazards. But it’s plenty to make roads slippery, especially as the sun goes down. Add in traffic during Friday evening’s commute, as well as the fact that many drivers have removed their winter tires for the season, and this setup raises the risk for slowdowns and accidents throughout the region.
