Stormy week ahead

Several low pressure areas will bring a difficult weather week to Ontario and Quebec. The forecast is very complicated at best. Here is what it looks like at the moment. Low pressure over Lake Superior will slide east towards the Great Lakes today and bring a round of freezing rain and showers to the area overnight and into Monday morning. The precipitation should become spotty in the afternoon Monday. it will be icy for the morning commute in Ottawa and Montreal so plan accordingly.

After this system winds down and moves southeast the cold front will stall just south of the St. Lawrence Valley. A more potent storm with widespread precipitation will move northeast into the region along this front by late Tuesday. This storm has the potential to bring heavy freezing rain and snow to the area into Wednesday. The exact details of this storm are sketchy at the moment but it will be a difficult travel week till Thursday. Behind the system much colder air will settle in by the end of the week.

Stay tuned...I will update the blog frequently as more information becomes available.
