Spring Forecast Temperature Map (CNW Group/The Weather Network)
We may have had a pretty mild winter but that doesn’t mean you should expect an early spring. The Weather Network has released its spring forecast, which says Ontario residents will need to be patient waiting for the arrival of consistent warm weather. Chief Meteorologist Chris Scott says spring will tease us at times with periods of warm weather but this spring has a heightened risk for several weeks of colder than normal weather. In our part of the province, temperatures will be near seasonal and warmer than the previous two springs. However, an interruption to the pattern is expected with several weeks of colder than normal weather before consistent warmth arrives. He’s also predicting above normal precipitation, which heightens the risk of spring flooding to areas that have a deep snowpack.
