You might want to bundle up before heading out on Friday morning.

Environment Canada says the temperature will drop to -3 degrees Celsius but, with the windchill, it will feel closer to -7.

A frost warning has also been issued for parts of the province, including Brantford, Brant County, Caledonia, Hamilton, Milton and Woodstock. The agency said those communities, and surrounding areas, could get some patchy frost overnight.

“Damage to plants, trees and crops is possible,” they advised. “Cover up plants, especially those in frost-prone areas.”

The good news is that it will gradually warm up throughout the day.

In Waterloo Region, temperatures are supposed to climb to 11 degrees Celsius by Friday afternoon. The forecast also shows a sun-and-cloud mix with a 30 per cent chance of rain.

Brantford could reach 12 degrees Celsius on Friday, with a 40 per cent chance of precipitation.

Saturday morning will also be a cool one, with low of -1 or 0 degrees Celsius across southwestern Ontario.
