A "significant weather storm" is expected to hit Toronto late this week ahead of the Christmas weekend, Environment Canada warns. The storm could bring rain, snow, winds and potentially a flash freeze to the city. Toronto could see rain or snow late Thursday and that precipitation might turn into rain in many areas early Friday, Environment Canada said. Power outages are possible, and temperatures on Friday night into the weekend could be the coldest that Toronto has seen so far this winter, Environment Canada said. As for areas east of the Great Lakes, a "multi-day lake effect snow event" is expected into the weekend in the wake of the system, Environment Canada said.
