Today turned out mostly cloudy in Montreal as a stubborn northeast flow maintained low clouds and flurries around the region. Eastern Ontario for the most was sunny, and I can now see the clouds beginning to erode to my west so I imagine the clearing is moving east.
This week we will see a return to a more stormy pattern. It has been almost snowless this month after so much of the white stuff in January. Montreal has had only 1.6cm of snow while Ottawa has recorded 1.4cm. This is well below the normal up to February 16th of 43cm and 46cm respectively.
The storm this week will take shape in the Mississippi Valley and move northeast towards Lake Ontario. Plenty of warm air will accompany the system so it will not be an entire snow event. Snow will spread across Ontario and Quebec on Wednesday with about 10-15cm falling from Kemptville and Ottawa east towards Montreal. The snow will then mix with freezing rain and possibly rain by Thursday morning before changing back to snow and ending late Thursday. This system is quite complex so the forecast is subject to change. It will be messy for driving from mid week through Friday so keep this in mind.
