Toronto freezing temperatures weekend flurries north of city, Digi Mart USA News (Toronto, Canada): Thermometers are expected to dip to 0 C and below every night from now until Sunday, according to Environment Canada. Friday night and Saturday night will see temperatures plummet to -2 C and -3 C in Toronto, respectively, the weather agency says.
Toronto may reach the freezing mark and below through the weekend, and some light snow could arrive in areas north of the city. Environment Canada forecasts a 60 per cent chance of flurries overnight changing to a 40 per cent chance of showers or flurries late Friday morning in Aurora, King City, Newmarket and Stouffville.
Barrie’s forecast calls for a 60 per cent chance of flurries or showers Thursday evening, with a few flurries starting around midnight and local snowfall of about two centimetres expected. On Friday morning, a few more flurries changing to showers or flurries are likely around noon, again with about two centimetres of local snowfall.
The forecast for Uxbridge projects a 30 per cent chance of flurries overnight and into Friday, changing to a 30 per cent chance of showers or flurries late in the morning. Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan could also see some snow, with a 40 per cent chance of flurries overnight into Friday.
In Toronto, the daytime high on Thursday is 9 C, with showers ending around noon and cloudy skies into the evening, followed by a nighttime low of 0 C. Lows of -2 C are expected Friday, -3 C Saturday night and 0 C on both Sunday and Monday, while daytime highs remain in single digits at 5 C on Friday and 7 C on Saturday and Sunday.
Toronto and surrounding areas had their first two frost advisories of the fall on consecutive nights last month. It is still unclear when the city will receive its first snowfall of the season.
Over the past five years, Toronto’s first snowfall of at least one centimetre has generally arrived in November. In 2025, the first such snowfall was 10 centimetres on Nov. 9, one of the largest accumulations on record for that early in the season, a storm that led to traffic chaos, with the Ontario Provincial Police reporting more than 300 weather-related incidents.
In 2024, the city did not record at least one centimetre of snow until Dec. 4, when seven centimetres fell.
These trends make mid-November the best estimate based on recent climatology, Environment Canada meteorologist Peter Kimbell told the Star in early October.
