Toronto residents are in for a frigid start this morning with the temperature feeling like -18.

The chilly weather is expected to persist throughout the day, warming only slightly this afternoon.

Environment Canada says Toronto will see a high of -5 C on Tuesday but it will feel like -13 when factoring in the wind chill.

Mainly cloudy skies are in the forecast along with a chance of flurries this morning.

Wind gusts of up to 60 km/h are possible today.

Wednesday won’t be quite as cold, with a high of -3 C, feeling like -14 in the morning and -7 in the afternoon.

Milder temperatures are on the horizon later this week.

The national weather agency is calling for a high of -2 C on Thursday and the daytime high is expected to rise above the freezing mark on Friday and Saturday.
