Saturday, April 16, 2022, 8:19 a.m. – A much cooler weekend, potentially with rain and snow for some, is coming to southern Ontario after devastating winds erupted by Friday. Unsettled conditions will prevail next week.
The long weekend in southern Ontario began with some wild weather, with intense gusts of wind on Friday that cut off thousands of electricity and felled trees. Saturday will be a much calmer day in terms of wind, but will be marked by winter rainfall in parts of the region during the day, as temperatures will drop significantly next week. After the weekend, weather forecasters are monitoring the next weather factor for Central Canada on Monday and Tuesday. More about the weather this weekend and the systems for next week, below.

WEEKEND: TEMPERATURES DECREASE, POSSIBLE FOR SNOW
Evil winds blew through southern Ontario on Friday, triggering warnings and special weather forecasts. The winds were enough to cut off more than 100,000 customers at one time, knocking down trees and power lines in some places.

In fact, Port Colborn recorded its windiest April day for a record Friday with a gust of 109 km / h – surpassing its previous high of 104 km / h on April 10, 2015. In addition, although it was not a record, certainly worth a look: St. Catherine recorded a huge gust of wind of 123 km / h.
A much calmer day is expected in the south on Saturday, but there will be precipitation in some parts of the region.
A quick batch of rain will cover the region on Saturday morning, providing a period of light mixing and wet snowflakes for the Erie shores and an afternoon for parts of the villa.
Snowfall will reappear in the snow belt and southeastern Ontario on Saturday night as cool winds blow through Lake Huron, Gulf of Georgia and eastern Lake Ontario, respectively, lingering until early Sunday morning.
Temperatures will be significantly lower in southern Ontario on Saturday and Sunday with a north wind, with single-digit highs on both days.
FROM MONDAY TO TUESDAY: EASTERN CANADA APPROACHES STORM
We don’t have to wait long for the next potentially influential system to approach Ontario and Quebec.
This comprehensive, moisture-rich system will approach Ontario and Quebec from the south from Monday and continue through Tuesday. Although it is still too early for details, forecasters can see that two scenarios are unfolding, one of which could bring significant snowfall in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec.
The more snowy scenario will see cold air trapped on the surface in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec, forcing much of the rainfall to fall like snow.
A warmer scenario is also possible, which would make this mostly rainy event for the National Capital Region and Montreal, moving the snow higher up St. Lawrence.
Looking ahead, another system could hit the region from Wednesday night to Thursday, before temperatures drop by the end of the week.
We are seeing the potential for a few days of warmer weather in the last few days of April, but a cooler model is expected in early May as the blocking model is expected to recover.
