Southern Ontario: Snowfall Outlook for Wednesday, March 2, 2022

Forecast Discussion

Another clipper is set to slide across Southern Ontario starting Wednesday afternoon and continuing through the evening. A few hours of heavy snowfall is expected, but we’re not expecting any significant accumulation from this system. Widespread totals through Central and Eastern Ontario along with regions east of Lake Huron will range from 2-6cm with locally up to 8cm possible. Could see some lake enhancement off Georgian Bay so the Muskoka region will likely see the most snow from this event. The rest of Southern Ontario can expect scattered flurries with very little accumulation. It should taper off just after midnight as the clipper moves out of the region.

Forecast Discussion

A weak Alberta Clipper is expected to bring widespread snowfall to parts of Central and Eastern Ontario on Tuesday. The snowfall has already begun as of Monday evening and will continue throughout the morning on Tuesday. For Eastern Ontario, the snow will start predawn Tuesday and continue into the afternoon. It should taper off by the late afternoon, but it could linger around Brockville and Cornwall past the dinner hour.

Total snowfall by the end of Tuesday isn’t expected to be overly significant with most areas topping out at 2-6cm through Central Ontario. However, there is a small zone that includes Ottawa, Brockville and Cornwall which are likely to pick up around 10cm. Locally could be a few centimetres higher than that up to 12-14cm, but that’s unlikely. Those south of Lake Simcoe will see very little impact from this system with a few flurries if anything at all.

Another quick burst of snow could bring widespread 2-6cm of snow late Wednesday into Thursday for much of Southern Ontario. More details on that in a separate outlook.
