Winter is not giving up in our region. New record low minimum temperatures were set this morning, thanks to a cold arctic high pressure ridge over Southern Ontario. At London Airport, the temperature dipped to -8.0 C, breaking the previous record of -7.7 C. And now, more April snow is on the way today and tonight across Southwestern Ontario.
Environment Canada reports that a large Alberta clipper approaching the Great Lakes from the Northwest will bring snow to the region, ranging from two to eight centimetres. As a warm front associated with the clipper moves in, the snow will turn to rain by late afternoon tomorrow in the Windsor area.
The changeover to rain will then work its way northeastward, with the warm front tonight across remaining regions of Southern Ontario. There may be a brief period of ice pellets or freezing rain during the transition from snow to rain. Most areas should get 5 to 15 centimetres of rain before it ends on Monday.
