Once again, The Alberta Clipper Delivers yet again, already 5 cm on the ground in Toronto and it doesn't look like this thing is done yet. We are going to have a few more stronger bands of precip and our total could be around 10-15cm by tomorrow morning.
Wind is shaking my windows and the 401 Highway which is only 100 meters away cannot be seen. It feels like winter again.
Meanwhile, Winter Storm Ernesto is going to form and it looks like it will strike southern Ontario. Despite the surge of cold air which will be in place Tomorrow into Monday, Some Models takes the warm gulf air right into the heart of Southern Ontario.
By no means this should be like the previous two winter storms, when we still have the mild 1-4 in place even before the warm front arrives. Conditions before this storm looks arctic chill. I don't think the arctic air in place will give in to the warm air without a fight. Southern Ontario is yet again the battle ground(like mentioned in my winter forecast, southern Ontario will be the battleground all winter).
Due to these factors considered, I think areas direct north and west of Toronto, Hamilton and St Thomas will stay mainly snow, with wet snow during the middle of the storm. Toronto and South East will be tough once again. We will have to wait to see what does the models have to say be tomorrow into Monday.
No Primary Forecast for this storm due to the time constraints. Right now I would say 10-15 cm in total for Toronto(Starts as snow and end as snow, ice and rain in between). Areas 50-200 km North and Northwest of Toronto should get 20-30 cm, areas West of Toronto should get 15-25 cm, area south of Toronto will get 5-10 cm. Forecast discussion will be up tonight. Should be interesting to watch.
Right now, lets enjoy this strong clipper!
