Above: Southern California in the snow.A rather weak Alberta Clipper will pass south of the Great Lakes and across upstate New York today with limited moisture. Radar is already showing light snow across eastern Ontario which will spread into southern Quebec by the noon hour. The snow will be light with accumulations of up to 5cm likely by tomorrow morning. While it is light, it will be chilly and it has been several days since our last snow so expect roads to be slippery and snow covered at times. We will have a break on Wednesday before the next system moves into the area late Thursday into Saturday. There remains plenty of uncertainty with the forecast track and main moisture area but I expect snow from Thursday evening into Saturday morning. At this point it will be at least 5cm with the potential for much more. The weather will remain unsettled into Sunday with snow showers. Temperatures all this week will be near normal with highs around -5C and cold overnight lows around -11C.
Speaking of snow, a strong storm over the southwest US produced heavy snow in southern California and Nevada, including the desserts around Las Vegas. Vegas set a record yesterday with a trace of snow on the strip and as much as 3 inches in the western suburbs. The snow snarled traffic on California highways including Interstate 5. That storm will push towards Texas today with rain to the south and more snow to the north.
