Skies are trying to clear out this morning after the 10cm or so of wet snow that fell across the area yesterday. Roads were a wee bit icy this morning but that will ease as temperatures warm to 3C today. Skies will be variable with the risk of a snow flurrie or two. The balance of the week should be fair with temperatures below normal. Chilly overnight lows will drop to -10C with daytime highs above freezing from 1 to 3C.
PRAIRIE BLIZZARD
Strong low pressure will pass south of the prairies today across the northern plain states. Snow and blowing snow will produce dangerous travel across southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Up to 20cm of snow is forecast along and south of the Trans Canada Highway. The snow will be blown around by 70km/h winds producing blizzard conditions. Warnings are in place and extend across the border into northern Montana and North Dakota. Travel in the area is not advised.
Closer to home that system will affect southwest Ontario as far east as Belleville starting tonight and Wednesday with snow, freezing rain and rain. There may even be a thunderstorm or two sneaking into the Windsor & Detroit metro area. The storm is expected to remain well south of our regions.
