Much of the south of the province is also in line for a prolonged rainfall event, with parts of the southwest expected to see rainfall totals surpass 100 mm in some areas.
But that system will be accompanied by a cold snap. And by "cold snap," we not only mean single-digit daytime highs, there's also a fair chance many people in southern Ontario are likely to see a few snowflakes in their forecast by Sunday.
"The cold snap, which is expected to last five days, will be one of the most significant spans of cold weather Toronto has seen in May," The Weather Network meteorologist Tyler Hamilton says.
"The record for the most single-digit days in a row in May is five, and that was back in May of 1974," Hamilton adds. "Currently, we're forecast to get five days of single digits, making it one of the most prolonged cold periods in history."
