Ontario Squalls Threaten Travel Plans with Disruptions Through Friday
Ontario is facing significant weather challenges as snow squalls threaten travel plans this week. Travelers, especially on Highway 400 north of Toronto, should anticipate possible disruptions.
Snow Squalls Impact Travel Plans
Snow squalls are predicted to weaken overnight but may redevelop north of Barrie on Friday afternoon. Local snowfall amounts could reach between 20 to 40 centimeters in some areas.
- Thursday night: Snow squalls continue to affect regions north of Toronto.
- Friday afternoon: Potential redevelopment of squalls across Barrie.
- Travel disruptions likely on Highway 400.
- By Friday evening: Squalls expected to move north and dissipate.
Upcoming Weather Patterns
A new weather system is set to bring additional widespread snowfall overnight into Saturday, with expected accumulation between 2 to 5 centimeters. Following this, milder weather may settle across the region by mid to late next week.
However, uncertainty exists regarding the weather leading up to Christmas. A surge of mild Pacific air could bring significant thawing, but lingering Arctic air may create fluctuations in temperatures.
- Possible weather scenarios before December 25:
- Path of one or two weather systems will dictate weather conditions.
- Type of precipitation could vary: rain, snow, or a wintry mix.
Future Weather Outlook
Post-Christmas, a more stable and colder weather pattern is anticipated to return, lasting into January. For those wondering if Christmas will be white or green, the outcome hinges on the final weather patterns leading up to the holiday.
