Toronto to see mild weather Friday but cold air ‘blasts back in’ this weekend

CP24’s Bill Coulter reports warm temperatures Friday, with cooler winds expected over the weekend.

Toronto will see a significant swing in the temperature over the next few days as the city bounces between mild and frigid conditions.

Environment Canada says the city will feel like -7 this morning but the daytime high is expected to climb to 6 C today.

“Friday will be a treat for many with a mix of sun and clouds and much milder temps. Saturday will be relatively comfortable to start with some limited sunshine. But, prepare for gusty winds and a big cool down by day’s end,” CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said.

A more seasonable daytime high of 0 C is in the forecast on Saturday but the temperature is expected to drop to -6 C in the afternoon, feeling closer to -12 with the wind chill.

“Cold air blasts back in on Sunday and hangs around for Monday,” Coulter said.

A chilly daytime high of -5 C is expected on both Sunday and Monday before warmer air arrives on Tuesday.

The national weather agency says Toronto will see a high of 1 C on Tuesday, 5 C on Wednesday, and 5 C on Thursday.

“We’ll get back to normal and above for Tuesday and Wednesday with bright skies,” Coulter said.

“There could be some messy weather returning though for the end of next week.”
