"Temperatures will be a few degrees below seasonal for the first several days of October," says TWN meteorologist Dr. Doug Gillham.

"However, a milder pattern should return during the second week of October."

Areas of southern Ontario are expected to see snow, thunderstorms, and even waterspouts this weekend.
