Bundle up, if you haven’t already, Toronto, as winds will make it feel frigid Wednesday with some of the snow breezing through parts of central and southwestern Ontario potentially blowing through the Greater Toronto Area.

In Toronto, temperatures will reach a high of -3 C, though winds will gust through the middle of the day, making it feel much colder.

Environment Canada says the wind chill will feel like -17 Wednesday morning before trickling back into the single digits to -9 in the afternoon. The federal agency says there is a 60 per cent chance of flurries throughout the day, dropping to a 40 per cent chance by the evening.

Snow squall warnings also remain in effect for several areas surrounding Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, as Environment Canada forecasts up to 15 centimetres of snow for the region through the afternoon. On Tuesday, up to 60 centimetres of snow blanketed parts of the province.

“The tail end of some lake-effect bands of snow that are impacting areas centrally, from Lake Huron (and) central Georgian Bay, the tail of that may drift into the GTA and the heart of the city this afternoon so watch for a few flurries,” CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said Wednesday morning.

“A few flurries are happening, and it looks like they’re impacting Brampton up to Caledon and then we will see some of that drift into our neck of the woods for this afternoon.”

By Thursday, Coulter says there is a chance of scattered flurries and breezy conditions, with the temperature reaching a high of -5 C, though it will still feel like a frigid -17 with the wind chill.
