An early spring storm is bringing high winds and heavy rain to parts of Ontario as Environment Canada warns of significant snowfall in other parts of the province. A pedestrian walks on a rainy day in Toronto on Friday, June 18, 2021. THE CANADIAN PRESS\/Nathan Denette <\/p>\n
Toronto will squeeze in one more taste of spring warmth Thursday before a sharp blast of cold air sweeps across the region overnight, dropping temperatures well below freezing and setting up a chilly, windy end to the week.<\/p>\n
A mild start to the day will give way to periods of rain this afternoon and evening, with 5\u201310 millimetres expected as a system moves through southern Ontario. Winds will shift from the southwest to the north by late day, ushering in the colder air that will dominate the forecast heading into the weekend. <\/p>\n
Toronto is expected to reach a high of 12\u00b0C on Thursday afternoon before temperatures tumble to \u20135\u00b0C overnight as skies clear.<\/p>\n
Friday will feel dramatically different. The city will see mainly sunny skies, but strong northwesterly winds of 30\u201350 km\/h will keep conditions brisk, with a daytime high of just 1\u00b0C and an overnight low of \u20137\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
The second weekend of spring will begin on a wintry note, with a chance of flurries Saturday alongside sunny breaks and a high near 3\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
Conditions moderate slightly on Sunday as temperatures return closer to seasonal norms. A mix of sun and cloud is expected with a high of 7\u00b0C and a low of 2\u00b0C, helped by a southwest breeze of 15\u201330 km\/h. <\/p>\n
Monday will follow a similar pattern before another round of wintry weather arrives Tuesday, continuing the back\u2011and\u2011forth pattern that has defined early spring in the city.<\/p>\n
