Today was very mild across Ontario and Quebec with temperatures of 6C in Kemptville and 3C in Montreal. The warm air will continue to surge into our region ahead of a gathering storm, storm 1, over Kansas. This system will move west of our region towards Lake Huron with a wide swath of steady precipitation and wind. Heavy snow is expected over central Ontario and Quebec with 15-25cm forecast. Further south along the lower lakes and the St. Lawrence Valley expect 10-20mm of rain on Friday. The rain will be accompanied by very strong southwest winds along and ahead of an arctic front. Wind Advisories have been issued for upstate New York and Vermont as well as the St. Lawrence Valley. Expect winds to gust from 30-50km/h with isolated gusts over 70km/h. The winds should diminish in the afternoon as the temperature begins to drop. After a high close to 7C temperatures will plummet down to the minus teens by Saturday morning. Any leftover rain will change to flurries in Kemptville late in the day Friday and Montreal by evening.
Storm 2 that was being shown by some computer models to become a big weather maker for Montreal is now expected to take a path further east out in the Atlantic Ocean. It should completely miss Montreal but will affect the Maratimes on Sunday. Our weekend weather will be fair and chilly.
