Wintry Mix Prompts Toronto Warning as Vaughan Faces Freezing Rain

Rising temperatures will shift freezing rain to rain by late morning.

Overview

  • Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for Toronto calling for a wintry mix through the morning.
  • Vaughan is under a freezing rain warning with conditions favorable for 2 to 5 millimetres of ice accumulation.
  • Snow or ice pellets up to 5 centimetres could make roads and sidewalks hazardous, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
  • Forecasters expect a transition to rain later in the morning with a high near 6 C, a brief lull, then showers returning in the afternoon.
  • An overnight low near 0 C could leave slick surfaces, with a cloudy weekend ahead and about a 30% chance of showers near seasonal temperatures.
