Northeast winds are slowly veering to the southwest across southern Quebec at this hour driving out the low clouds and fog. It has taken the entire day for the cold northeast winds to abate and the warmer air begin to move in. Such was not the case in Ontario where temperatures soared into the low 30’s across the southwest. The rise was impressive to say the least. At 11am Ottawa was at 11C, by 4pm they were 27C. Lancaster, ON and St. Anicet, QC just southwest of Montreal are at 26C now while we have struggled to reach 16C.
Toronto rose to 31C with strong winds of 50 gusting to 80km/h. It is like a hair dryer is turned on full force once the southwest winds begin to kick in. Montreal should easily make it to 25C in the next hour or two before the sun sets. A cold front tonight will bring us back to normal temperatures for the weekend along with a few showers.
Just for comparison, Whitehorse in the Yukon is under a snowfall warning for 10cm of snow. It is –1C and snowing at the moment.
