Ontario's April Weather Forecast Was Just Revealed & More Snow Is On The Way This Week

Bundle up!

Any hopes for an early summer-like warmth dominating April appear to have been dashed as Ontario's weather forecast continues to predict, well, unpredictable conditions.

According to The Weather Network (TWN), the province will struggle to settle into any consistent warmth until later this month, with temperatures climbing by nearly two degrees a week.

The gradual warming will prevent residents from feeling any beach vibes in April, with above-normal precipitation ensuring that it is also a soaker.

As if all that wasn't upsetting, the province will have a rude awakening on Friday with colder temperatures and morning flurries sweeping across southern regions.

The sudden shift in conditions follows Thursday's balmy yet gusty conditions, making Mother Nature seem even more disorganized.

Friday's temperatures will drop over 10 C from yesterday's warmth, with Toronto falling from 18 C to a dismal 4 C.

Thankfully, the return of wintry conditions will be more of a bad Tinder date than a relationship. Still, TWN warns that some lake-effect enhancement along Lake Huron and Georgian Bay could make travel difficult.

The weekend will be equally tragic thanks to a low-pressure system moving south of the Great Lakes on Saturday, bringing the opportunity for rain and snow.

But, hey, at least there is hope for early next week not to be a total dumpster fire.

"Conditions will remain relatively calm and near-seasonal for southern Ontario and Quebec heading into next week," the TWN report concludes. "We're watching the potential for unsettled conditions to return to the region by the latter half of next week."
