Weekend Update

Damaged school in Hempfield Township, Pennsylvania

It is a chilly start to the morning in Montreal with -6C and a gusty northwest wind. Upper level low pressure remains nearly stationary in central Quebec with a few flurries spinning around it and occasionally into Montreal. Only a dusting may occur over the next 24 hours. It will remain chilly with below normal temperatures. Highs will be near 0C with lows around -7C across the area. A few more flurries may occur over the mountains southeast of Montreal and into northern New England. High pressure will slowly begin to move into the area for the weekend with clearing skies, but reaming cold for late March. We will see a slow warming trend into next week, with no major storms are on the horizon.

That windy snowstorm that hit southern Ontario, also had a warmer side to it as well. Severe thunderstorms spread across the Ohio Valley and into the Middle Atlantic on Wednesday. A rare March tornado ripped across Hempfield Township in western Pennsylvania with 111 to 135mph winds. The storm destroyed dozens of homes and businesses, but thankfully no injuries were reported.
