Welcome to the new SkyTracker Weather section of GlobalToronto.com. When a major storm hits, this page is designed to be your one stop shop to access everything weather. You’ll be able to get traffic updates and airport delays, along with school closings and current watches and warnings. With a mouse click, you can navigate your own local radar, see the forecast for the next hour or the next 7 days and stay up to date with all sorts of weather news stories. When severe weather hits, this page is designed to cover it all.
You are reading this guide from the blog section of the site. You can frequently check back for the latest weather briefings and forecast discussions written by the trained meteorologists and weather specialists here at Global News. Learn about why we are forecasting the rain to change to snow with an approaching winter storm or why severe thunderstorms could pop up in one area and not another. It’s your chance to dig a little deeper and understand more about the weather.
If you’d prefer watching your latest forecast rather than reading about it, click play on the weather video section in the top right hand corner. Here you will get a 1-2 minute weather update straight from the Global SkyTracker Weather Centre, using the same graphics that are shown on the newscasts each evening.
