Toronto's Weather Forecast Is Dumping The First Major Snowfall Of The Season Today

Even more snow for next week, too!

Toronto's first major dumping of snow for the season is happening on Sunday, November 28 — and the city can expect even more snow next week.

Environment Canada has a special weather statement in effect for the City of Toronto and they are warning of "accumulating snow" through Sunday.

Many parts of Ontario have seen multiple snow events in the past few weeks but, before this weekend, Toronto was yet to receive its first substantial snowfall of the season.

Environment Canada said that Sunday's weather system will likely impact road conditions.

It adds: "Snow is expected to begin Sunday morning and persist throughout the day before moving out Sunday evening. Snowfall accumulations of 3 to 6 cm are expected however it is possible that some communities could see locally higher amounts due to easterly winds off of Lake Ontario."

Anyone thinking of driving on Sunday is told to expect "hazardous winter driving conditions" and they've been told to change their travel plans.

According to The Weather Network, wind gusts of 30-50 km/h could start to blow some of that snow around, causing poor visibility for drivers.

Temperatures will remain below seasonal through Sunday and into next week.

In one of their videos, The Weather Network's Jaclyn Whittal said daytime highs of 4C are generally expected at the end of November for Toronto but, on Sunday, you can expect highs of just 0C.

The wind chill overnight into Monday will make things feel more like -11C before temperatures recover to a below-seasonal 1C high on Monday.
