Residents of Whitchurch-Stouffville are heading into an unseasonably cold week as a blast of chilly air brings a chance of flurries and gusty winds to the community.
According to Environment Canada, Sunday is expected to reach a high of 4°C with a 70 percent chance of rain showers or flurries. Gusty northwest winds reaching up to 50 km/h will contribute to a wind chill near minus 10 overnight, with temperatures dropping to minus 3°C.
Monday morning will remain cold with lingering flurries and a wind chill near minus 9, though skies are expected to clear as the day progresses with a high of 2°C. While these conditions may feel unusual for late April, historical data suggests that occasional snowfall during this time of year is within normal climate patterns for the region.

With the town’s dedicated road patrols having ended on the second Friday of April, residents are reminded that winter-level municipal service responses are no longer active.
