Wind chill warning for
Windsor - Leamington - Essex County issued
Wind chill values reaching close to minus 30 in many areas this afternoon and minus 30 to minus 35 tonight.
Strong and gusty northwesterly winds are blasting in even colder Arctic air in the wake of the snow squall producing sharp cold front today. As a result wind chill values near minus 30 are expected at times in many areas this afternoon. Wind chills of minus 30 to minus 35 are expected tonight across most of Southern Ontario as the bitterly cold Arctic air mass continues to invade from the northwest.
Anyone venturing outdoors, especially for an extended period, should dress accordingly with as little exposed skin as possible.
Wind chills will improve Friday morning as temperatures struggle upward a few degrees under the strengthening late February sun.

Special Weather Statement For All Of Ontario
Significant weather expected late Thursday and Friday.
Two weather systems, one from Alberta and the other from Texas, are expected to develop in the coming days and track toward the Great Lakes, where they are forecast to merge and rapidly intensify on Thursday.
This intense system will bring rising temperatures to Southern Ontario, but also significant precipitation and strong winds.
Rain is expected to reach Southwestern Ontario on Thursday afternoon, then spread eastward to the Golden Horseshoe by evening. As the precipitation spreads further north and eastward through the overnight hours, it will encounter colder air and likely begin as snowfall before changing to rain. Some freezing rain and ice pellets will also be possible as the snow transitions to rain.
While considerable uncertainty still exists regarding the details of Thursday and Friday's weather, current indicators suggest the following:
From Southwestern Ontario to the Golden Horseshoe and eastward along the Lake Ontario shore toward Kingston, rainfall amounts could be in the 30 to 40 mm range, with much of the precipitation falling Thursday night through Friday morning. Thunderstorms are also a possibility in these areas, and may result in locally higher rainfall amounts. Significant snow melt due to the rising temperatures will also be a concern.
For regions north of a line from about Kincardine eastward to Ottawa, snowfall ranging anywhere between a trace to 10 cm on Thursday night may be followed by 10 to 20 mm of rain. A few hours of freezing rain and ice pellets is also possible, but is most likely to occur in Eastern Ontario, especially near the Ottawa Valley.
Strong winds will also be a concern in some areas, especially regions along the Great Lakes shores. Southerly winds in the 30 to 60 km/h range will veer to southwesterly on Friday and increase, with gusts 70 or 80 km/h possible.
Meteorologists continue to monitor the development of these weather systems. Weather watches or warnings may be required.
Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at www.weatheroffice.gc.ca.

Weather Discussion
You may hear a rumble of thunder or two this evening as well as see some snow pellets. NWS says that this among other problems will arise in the future. Locally 7 inches of snowfall may accumulate in the Tri-City area. River flooding and areal flooding may occur Thursday due to a low pressure system out of Texas. This system will bring moisture from the Gulf to the Great Lakes and cause problomatic snow melt to occur. There may be significant ponding water in low lying areas or areas with poor drainage systems. Up to 1" of rainfall may also occur worsening the problem. Dense fog may also occur with the all the moisture in the air Thursday.
*SPOTTER STATUS*
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TONIGHT BUT SNOWFALL MEASUREMENTS ARE REQUESTED.

Special Weather Statement
Alert Statement:
A total snowfall amounts of up to 10 centimetres possible by Tuesday morning.
A disturbance approaching from the Northern Plains States will spread snow into Southwestern Ontario beginning late this afternoon and will March east into the Golden Horseshoe regions late this evening. Latest indications suggest most regions could receive 5 to 10 cm of snow from this disturbance. In addition, strong gusty winds are also expected to produce local blowing snow. Travellers should allow extra time due to accumulating snow and reduced visibility in falling and blowing snow.
The snow will taper off from west to east Tuesday morning.
Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at www.weatheroffice.gc.ca.

Storms On The Way
For all of you sun lovers I got good news and bad news. The good news is temps will go up into the 40s. BUT, with that it will bring storms. SPC has now issued a Day 4 outlook for parts of the Ohio Valley. They say damaging winds may be a primary problem. This risk is about 30% so maybe a slight risk will cover this.

Family Day Winter Storm
An Alberta Clipper System will make its way through The Great Lakes tomorrow. 4-6" of snow is expected to fall in some areas. The NWS in Detroit is calling for a "High End Advisory Event" meaning that it is just on the edge of a Winter Storm Warning. BUT, they also say this system could "Overpreform" and have snowfall amounts of about 1" an hour in some places. Thus a "Winter Storm Warning" would be issued. Environment Canada has not yet issued a "Special Weather Statement" so I am assuming a "Snowfall Warning" may be issued later tomorrow if not tonight. Please continue to moniter this as the OPSW will have shortened hours tomorrow due to Family Day.
