“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.”
