Weekend Update


Lots of minor flooding late yesterday and overnight in Montreal.

Japan quake information below and at CNN.COM
Low pressure this morning continues to lift north across Lake Ontario. Widespread rain is falling north and east of the low, with some wet snow (10cm) or so working its way into extreme southwest Ontario from London to Windsor. The rain has been heavy in Montreal with upwards of 25mm in the city in the last 24 hours on top of the 15-20cm of snow that fell yesterday as well. Lots of melting overnight as the temperature remained above freezing at about 3C. We may reach 5C today in the city and across the region with showers expected most of the day. The heavier rain will be confined to the Ottawa Valley today. Tonight some showers or flurries will develop as a cold front slowly advance east. The showers and flurries will last well into Sunday before skies begin to slowly clear out and temperatures chill for Monday. We will finally dry out Monday with sunny skies and cool temperatures.
