Ontario: Dominant snow squalls threaten to dump 15+ cm
After a stretch of chilly days, even a little bit of a warm-up will be a welcome change for many in southern Ontario, and -- apart from a few flies in the ointment -- that's just what we're looking at for the week ahead. Climbing temperatures and a milder, quieter stretch of weather is on the way for much of the region as Pacific flow eases its way in from the west. Before that, however, we're looking at some lingering snow squalls to start the work-week, and on the horizon beyond, the potential for a wet weekend ahead. We take a look at what to expect, and how we're keeping an eye on your white Christmas potential, below.
Winds take a more southwesterly track on Tuesday, and in turn shift bands further north along the shores of Huron and Georgian Bay; expect some more significant accumulations across the Bruce Peninsula and north toward Parry Sound with these. It's also possible a morning shot of snow will work its way through the Niagara Peninsula and the GTA, as well as along the 401 corridor between Toronto and Kingston where heavier snow accumulations could pile up.
"We have to keep a close eye on areas east of Lake Ontario with more of that dominant west/southwest flow as areas between Prince Edward County and Kingston could see these snow squalls lock into place for multiple hours through Tuesday afternoon and evening," says Weather Network meteorologist Kelly Sonnenburg. "So what that could possibly lead to is 15 cm, locally 20 cm, of snow close to that Kingston area."
