GTA could see more wet snow tonight but warmer weather on the way for weekend

Still, the potentially messy weather resulted in some school bus cancellations in Simcoe County, though most schools remain open for learning.

However the city is set to see a warm-up for the weekend, with mostly sunny skies and highs of 8 C and 12 C expected on Saturday and Sunday. The warmer temperatures are expected to carry over into next week, with highs of 12 C on Monday and Tuesday, going up to 15 C on Wednesday.
