Another stretch of winter weather arriving Thursday..
A dominating Arctic air mass is making its way towards southern
Ontario and will arrive early Thursday. The result will be gusty
winds, showers changing over to a few flurries, temperatures
dropping below freezing Thursday afternoon and finally the
generation of lake effect snow squalls.
An extensive flash freeze affecting many areas is not expected as
the strong drying winds in the wake of the cold front Thursday
morning will allow most roads to dry out before conditions freeze up.
Some localized icy spots are still possible however.
Strong winds may exceed the warning criteria of 60 km/h with gusts
to 90 km/h with the passage of the front but may be limited to a
brief period near the Eastern Shores of Lake Erie. A warning may be
issued later as conditions warrant.
The Ontario storm prediction centre will likely issue snow squall
warnings tonight for many regions to the east of Lake Huron and
Georgian Bay. Lake-effect flurries are expected to develop Thursday
morning and mature into snow squalls in the afternoon, becoming
locally intense Thursday night. A few bands of squalls are likely to
the Lee of Lake Huron with a particularly heavy solitary squall
affecting the Bruce Peninsula extending to the east of Georgian Bay
Thursday night.
Listen for further statements. Additional information may also be
found by consulting the latest public forecast. The next public
forecast will be issued by 3.30 PM.
