Storm likely this weekend....

Good morning everyone......Enjoying the mild weather in Ontario and Quebec I trust! It has been quite a spell. I want to go skating on The Rideau Canal in Ottawa, but it has only been open for a couple of days. The very mild weather will continue into Friday...However,.....Don't just like however's in weather!

Surface low pressure is expected to develop in the Midwest and along the US east coast early Friday. The result will be very mild air, plus 9 for Montreal and Ottawa early Friday along with rain developing into Friday night.

As the storm system along the coast becomes the primary low colder air on very strong north winds will be drawn into the St. Lawrence Valley and northern New England. The rain will change to snow early Saturday morning and continue all day. It is very early in the forecast period, but confidence is growing that we will see a storm. In any event it will be colder. Prepare yourself for winter weather this weekend.

Of Note...Vancouver is going for the rain record set in the 1950's. If it rains through this weekend, and it should, over 50mm expected today, then they will set a new record. So far 29 days straight and counting. They can have it! I will take the mix of seasons any day. Besides how can anyone live where there are no thunderstorms!!!!
