Flash Freeze Expected

This is an ALERT to anyone living in eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, Northern New York and Vermont. The weather is about to change dramatically today. A strong Arctic boundary will pass through the region by noon-6pm today. Temperatures will fall from present values of 6 to10C down to below freezing rapidly. In addition strong winds will develop from the north at 60km/h and rain will change to snow. Computer models are having a tough time dealing with how much will fall. It looks like 5-20cm across the area. Amounts aside it will be nasty driving.

A Flash Freeze Warning is in effect for Eastern Ontario.
A Winter Strom Watch is in effect for Northern New York and Vermont.

Of Note: A Winter Strom Watch is also in effect for Southeast Saskatchewan. A developing Colorado Low is expected to bring Freezing Rain to the area tonight.
