Wind Chill Warning

Depending which side of the International border you live on you are under either a wind chill warning or advisory. It really means the same thing, it is bloody cold out there. Montreal is currently -19C or -2F at 3:30 pm. We are looking at overnight lows between -28C and -32C across southern Quebec and into eastern Ontario. With a light breeze forecast, wind chill temperatures will approach -40C. We will warm slightly to -20C on Monday under sunny skies. The last time Montreal was this cold was January 2009 when we dropped to -28.3C on the 16th. The record low for tonight for Montreal was -30.6C set in 1976, so we have a chance at that one. The threat for a storm later in the week has diminished at this time as high pressure may keep the storm off the coast. We are expecting a little light snow from a clipper system on Tuesday.
