Hamilton to see up to 10 cm of snow during April storm

Hamilton is expected to see some April snow on Tuesday night, according to Canada’s weather authority.

Environment Canada says a low-pressure system developing south of the border will be the primary contributor along with a cold wind.

The agency is forecasting between 5 to 10 cm of snow.

“The heaviest snow is expected to fall in the overnight and early Wednesday morning which may significantly impact the Wednesday morning commute,” Environment Canada said in a weather advisory.

Windchill will also be a factor overnight reaching -5 C.

The system is expected to stretch from London, along Niagara Region, all the way up to Toronto with the latter seeing about 5 cm of snow.

Niagara Region could see as much 15 cm inland with accumulations tapering off closer to the lakeshore.

Temperatures will return to more seasonal norms on Thursday with a mix of sun and cloud and 8 C.

Environment Canada says the most snow Hamilton has seen on April 21 was about 2 cm in 1978.
