Significant freezing rain on the way. Potential for a major ice storm likely tonight for parts of Southern Ontario.

A slow-moving low currently over Illinois combined with Arctic air over Southern Ontario to produce a wintery mix this morning over parts of Southern Ontario. But the bulk of the precipitation is yet to come, and is threatening to produce quite serious consequences. The main precipitation is expected to arrive this evening in the form of freezing rain and ice pellets. It may fall heavy at times and be accompanied by a few rumbles of thunder. It will change to rain later tonight in most areas as temperatures rise above the freezing mark.

This afternoon’s commute should not be problematic, but deteriorating road conditions are likely this evening. As temperatures hover near the freezing mark, treated roads may tend to be merely wet while untreated roads may become slippery. Also, shoreline areas near Lake Ontario, including downtown Toronto, may see mixed rain and freezing rain, which will significantly limit the impacts in those areas.

The greatest concern is the risk of widespread power outages beginning this evening from downed tree limbs and power lines due to significant ice accumulation combined with northeast winds gusting to 60 km/h. Freezing rain amounts up to 10 mm are quite possible in many areas with some regions possibly exceeding 20 mm. The heavier amounts would be primarily to the west and northwest of the Greater Toronto area, over the higher terrain of the Oak Ridges moraine and above the Niagara Escarpment.

Rainfall Warning continues for Norfolk County, including Delhi, Simcoe, and Port Dover.

Heavy rainfall again tonight.

Several rounds of significant rain and thunderstorms have been affecting the warned regions over the past few days. Yet another heavy area of rain is threatening the area tonight as a slow-moving low approaches from Illinois. It is expected to develop this evening and continue well into the night along with more potential thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. An additional 25 to 30 mm are expected by Friday morning.

Snow mixed with ice pellets along with some freezing rain will begin in Southwestern Ontario Monday morning. Ice pellets and some freezing rain will spread northeast through the afternoon possibly reaching as far north as a line from Kincardine through Barrie to Cobourg Monday evening.

Precipitation is expected to change over to mainly rain for a few hours especially near Lake Erie and Ontario and across Southwestern Ontario. Snowfall amounts with this system will likely range from a coating near Lake
Erie to 2 to 5 cm across the Greater Toronto area to Waterloo Region and Stratford and 5 to 10 cm further north towards Southern Georgian Bay.

Winter Storm Warning – Simcoe, Delhi, Norfolk

A dangerous winter storm about to affect Southern and Eastern Ontario.

Winter Storm Warning is now in effect for:
Simcoe, Delhi, Norfolk, Port Dover, Waterford, Townsend, Caledonia, Cayuga, Haldimand, Dunnville, and Niagara Region.

Over the Niagara and Simcoe-Dunnville areas snow at times heavy has settled in. It will continue into the overnight hours before tapering off Thursday morning. Total snowfall amounts are expected to be in the 15 to 20 cm range with local 25 possible. The falling snow combined with northeast winds gusting to 60 or 70 km/h will create considerable blowing snow with reduced visibilities frequently less than 500 metres.

Highest snow amounts over Ontario are expected over Dunnville,
Niagara, and from Kingston to Cornwall with 15 to 20 cm or more and
very poor visibilities in blowing snow. Hence winter storm warnings
are in effect for these areas.

Areas from Windsor to Simcoe and Hamilton, and from Cobourg to Smiths
Falls and Ottawa are expected to see 10 to 15 cm of snow with this
event.

Further north, from Sarnia to Kitchener to Toronto to Bon Echo Park
to Renfrew, snowfall amounts will likely be in the 5 to 10 cm range.
The reason why more snow is not expected in this swath is the shorter
duration of snow on the outer fringe of the snow area.

Impacts will be significant for travellers. It is a widespread event
and many regions have not experienced a significant snow event for
some time. The falling snow combined with northeast winds to 50 or
60 km/h will create fairly widespread blowing snow and poor
visibilities. This will be especially true in the Niagara region
where snowfall amounts will likely be highest. Also, holiday rush
hour Thursday morning may be problematic since much of the snow will
have fallen tonight.

Simcoe, Delhi, Norfolk, Port Dover, Waterford, Townsend, Caledonia, Cayuga, Haldimand, Dunnville, Niagara Region

Snowstorm coming Boxing Day?

A low pressure system is expected to develop over Texas on Christmas
day and then move northeastward to pass south of the Great Lakes
region late in the day boxing day into Thursday. Such a storm track
would place Southern Ontario on the cold side of the storm, with the
potential for significant snowfall accumulations.

Present indications suggest that the snow would start in the
southwest during the day on boxing day, and then spread eastward to
reach Eastern Ontario later in the evening. In addition, gusty
northeast winds would result in local blowing snow reducing
visibilities. Conditions should improve from west to east on
Thursday.

Current indications suggest that in areas from Lake Erie across
Niagara as well as the St Lawrence Valley area the potential exists
for snowfall amounts near the warning criteria of 15 cm in 12 hours.

Be careful travelling this afternoon, especially if you are heading north or west of the city of Brantford. A freezing rain warning has been issued for Tillsonburg, Oxford, Woodstock, London, Middlesex, Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo, Ancaster and Hamilton. Edit: Brantford, Delhi, Simcoe, Paris, Norfolk and Haldimand Counties added to the warning effective 2:30 pm.

The first real taste of winter may cause roads to be icy and if it changes to snow after ice is on the roads, driving my be treacherous. Be prepared for a quick change in road conditions.

Good chance of periods of snow tonight, possibly reaching 10 – 15 cm by Friday. Current indications suggest that snowfall amounts in the 10 to 15 cm range are likely within an 18 to 24 hour period.
Regions just north of Lake Erie which will see rain initially mixed with the snow will end up with less snowfall.
