30 Apr 23Z (7pm ET)–01 May 06Z (2am ET): CYTZ TAF shows clearing to scattered at 6,000 ft (SCT060) after 23Z (7pm ET) tonight, then sky clear (SKC) from 06Z (2am ET)–12Z (8am ET) tomorrow — the cleanest window in the forecast period.

CYTZ is currently VFR with broken ceilings and gusty NW winds, but a complex low-pressure system is bringing widespread mixed precipitation (freezing drizzle, snow, and rain) across much of the Ontario/Quebec region. Conditions deteriorate overnight and the extended forecast shows persistent low cloud, drizzle, and marginal ceilings through much of next week.
🤖 AI summary — verifyConfidence decays with distance — days 0–1 are TAF-backed, days 2–4 rely on a single-model extended forecast, days 5–6 are a directional trend only. Lower-confidence days are dimmed.
VFR now with gusty NW winds; TEMPO light showers before 23Z then clearing
SKC 06–12Z (best window); cloud & light showers return by 21Z
Light rain, NW gusts to 21 kt; MVFR ceilings likely through the day
Drizzle, low cloud, WNW 11 kt gusting 24 kt — lingering MVFR
Light drizzle, S/SW 11 kt gusting 25 kt; MVFR ceilings, temps 9–13°C
Dense drizzle, SW 12 kt gusting 28 kt; likely IFR/MVFR — most active day
Overcast, light NNE winds — system exiting but ceilings unclear
CYTZ is reporting VFR right now with broken cloud at 12,000 ft (BKN120), 9 statute miles visibility, and a gusty NW wind around 32011G18KT (320° magnetic, 11 kt gusting 18). The TAF calls for light rain showers (-SHRA) in the TEMPO 20–23Z period before winds back to 290° at 5 kt and ceilings lift to scattered at 6,000 ft (SCT060) after 23Z. Across the broader region, the GFA CLDWX 18Z chart shows IFR/MVFR conditions with overcast layers, freezing drizzle (-FZDZ), and mixed snow/rain showers pushing in from the north and east — southern Ontario airports are better off but the threat corridor is close. The TURBC chart shows the freezing level sitting near or at the surface over northern and eastern Ontario, with moderate icing in cloud layers across a wide area — VFR pilots should note that cloud encounter carries icing risk.
The CYTZ TAF clears to sky clear (SKC) from 01 May 06Z through about 12Z — the best window of the period — before a becoming (BECMG 12–14Z) south wind at 5 kt and building cloud (few at 6,000 ft, broken at 17,000 ft) arrives by 18Z. By 21Z the TAF introduces light rain showers (-SHRA) with broken cloud at 5,000 ft (BKN050), signalling the next system's approach. The GFA 00Z and 06Z frames show a warm front draped across central/eastern Ontario with freezing rain (-FZRA) and freezing drizzle (-FZDZ) still affecting areas north and east of the city — CYOW (Ottawa) and CYUL (Montreal) will see lingering MVFR/IFR ceilings and freezing precipitation through the early morning hours. Across the region the pattern briefly improves mid-morning before the next disturbance begins eroding conditions again by afternoon.
