The storm will look very different in various parts of the province, according to Enviornment Canada, with Winter storm warnings are in place for parts northwestern Ontario, including Thunder Bay and freezing rain warnings are in place for many parts of northeastern through eastern Ontario, according to Enviornment Canada.

There is also a possibility of up to15 mm of ice accretion with power outages and tree damage.

There would be a potential ice storm in the City of Ottawa Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.  

“A potent Colorado low is set to rumble through southern Ontario, with early summer-like warmth, and a severe thunderstorm threat,” The Weather Network said.

Toronto could see up to 25 mm of rain on Wednesday which is expected to clear out by the evening, giving way to sunny weather into the long Easter weekend until Monday, when the rain returns.
