This week is forecast to mark the end of Toronto’s extreme cold weather alert, making way for some sun, clouds and rain.

After enduring a -23 C temperature with wind chill early Monday morning, the weekend cold spell will release its grip on Toronto, bringing the mercury up to -5 C during the day on Monday and -2 C on Tuesday before temperatures reach above 0 C for the remainder of the week.

Late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, there is a 30 per cent chance of flurries. The cold returns at night, with overnight temperatures dipping to -11 C.

After that, Wednesday through to Saturday isn’t set to get colder than -5 C, with daytime temperatures reaching over 0 C, according to Environment Canada.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday also show a chance of rain or snow, with Friday being the most likely at 60 per cent.

Environment Canada’s historical tracking shows Toronto’s warmest Jan. 20 came in 2006, reaching 11.4 C and its coldest in 1939, reaching a low of -23.3 C.
