The rains will start off light on April 3, according to Environment Canada’s Mississauga sensors, with an 80 per cent chance of light drizzle from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Temperatures will remain at a brisk 7 degrees throughout the early morning. Meanwhile, winds will be moderate with a 30 km/h steady wind from the east. Gusts at this time may reach peaks of 50 km/h.
However, after 9 a.m. the weather will take a turn for the worse. From then on there will be a 100 per cent chance of full-blown rain. Temperatures will fall throughout the day until they hit a low of 4 degrees by 7 p.m.
During this time, wind will kick up to a steady 40 km/h with gusts hitting up to 60 km/h. The system is caused by an early spring storm which prompted a weather warning from April 2 to April 3.
