Winter Storm Near Miss: Southern Ontario Could Still See Heavy Snow

  A major winter storm developing across the central United States is expected to track close enough to southern Ontario this weekend to bring the risk of significant snowfall. While the core of the system is projected to remain south of the border, its northern edge may still sweep across regions from Windsor to the Greater Toronto Area. Forecasters say the exact path remains uncertain, but current projections suggest that areas along and south of Highway 401 could see notable accumulations if the storm shifts even slightly north. Some models indicate the potential for 10–20 centimetres of snow, with locally higher amounts possible if lake‑enhanced bands develop. The storm threat comes as southern Ontario braces for a surge of bitter cold.

US Military Strikes Houthi Radar Sites in Yemen Following Merchant Sailor’s Disappearance

 

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, the United States military has launched a series of attacks targeting radar sites operated by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. These strikes come in response to the rebels’ assaults on shipping in the crucial Red Sea corridor. The situation intensified after a merchant sailor went missing following an earlier Houthi strike on a ship.

The U.S. Navy, facing its most intense combat since World War II, aims to counter the Houthi campaign. However, the rebel assaults often endanger ships and sailors unrelated to the conflict, further disrupting cargo and energy shipments between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Central Command reported that seven radars within Houthi-controlled territory were destroyed, preventing the rebels from targeting maritime vessels. Additionally, the U.S. military neutralized two bomb-laden drone boats and a Houthi-launched drone over the Red Sea.

The missing merchant sailor was aboard the Liberian-flagged bulk cargo carrier “Tutor,” which suffered a Houthi attack using a bomb-carrying drone boat. The crew was rescued, but the vessel remains in the Red Sea, slowly taking on water.

As the conflict continues, tensions remain high in the region, impacting global trade and security.
