It’s set to be a messy, wintry day Friday, with Environment Canada calling for strong winds and significant snow.
The weather agency issued a special weather statement calling for 10 to 15 centimetres of snow in Waterloo Region. It’s expected the system will be messy and at times mixed with rain.
“Snow is expected to begin Friday morning and continue Friday night before moving out of the region Saturday morning,” it reads.
On top of the snowfall, the weather authority also warned of gusty winds blowing between 50 and 60 km/h.
Temperatures are expected to hover near 0 C but with the wind chill, it could feel as cold as -12.
Flooding still a possibility
Despite the chilly temperatures, Grand River Conservation Authority said flood warnings and watches remain in place.
The authority said flood warnings are in effect for West Montrose, City of Cambridge, Ayr, Brant County, Brantford, Six Nations and Haldimand County. A flood watch is for the Grand River watershed.
Earlier this week, Waterloo Region embraced warmer spring temperatures and 14.2 mm of rain.
