sent out the alert<\/a> Friday afternoon and said Toronto could see snowfall amounts of two to 10 cm starting Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\u201cA low pressure system could bring significant snowfall to parts of southern Ontario on Sunday,\u201d the national weather agency said. Most of southern Ontario is covered by the special weather statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cMotorists should expect difficult winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s snowfall alert comes amid Friday\u2019s seasonably mild high of 11 C, which will be the last double-digit daytime high Torontonians see for the foreseeable future. <\/p>\n
The mercury is expected to rise to 7 C on Saturday, dropping to just 2 C on Sunday, when the \u201cwintry mix of rain and snow\u201d arrives. <\/p>\n
\u201cPeriods of moderate to heavy wet snow will fall around the city through to mid-afternoon. Then flurries will linger into the evening,\u201d CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said Friday. <\/p>\n
Although the snowfall will be significant, it isn\u2019t expected to pile up, he noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe wet snow will come down hard at times through the midday but melt on contact with roadways,\u201d Coulter added. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe ground isn\u2019t frozen so it\u2019s not like your typical mid-winter storms.\u201d <\/p>\n
He said the biggest issue will be reduced visibility and slushy roadways. <\/p>\n
Monday will see a daytime high of just 1 C and a high of 4 C is expected on Tuesday with the possibility of isolated showers or wet flurries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Environment Canada issued an alert Friday saying Toronto and surrounding areas could see between 2 and 10 cm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[712,43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-268967","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-apple-news","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-top-news","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-topnews","14":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
