April showers bring May flowers, remember that this week. It looks like a very unsettled weather pattern developing across the region for the better part of the upcoming week. In the near term showers are occurring this morning with more chilly temperatures (4C in Montreal) and very strong southeast winds. Gusts have been observed over 60km/h this morning in southern Quebec and they are forecast to approach 90km/h in the Champlain and Richelieu Valleys. Wind advisories are posted for those areas. Temperatures will eventually improve to around 14C or so, but this may not occur until later in the day. There were even some reports of wet snow again this morning across northern Ontario, the Laurentians and in portions of the Green Mountains. Easter Sunday will likely be the best day of the entire week as high pressure briefly clears skies out. Next week a series of low pressure areas and frontal boundaries will provide the area with showers and thunderstorms. There is a chance we may get into some warm and humid air by mid week but we will have to wait and see. Recent systems have had a difficult time pushing the cold and damp marine layer of air out of the St. Lawrence Valley.
Saskatchewan Flooding
Paul Boisvert, Editor of the Gravelbourg Tribune and my good friend and newspaper mentor has provided me with some photos of the spring flooding that is occurring across southern Saskatchewan. These pictures were taken as the Thomson Lake Reservoir south of Gravelbourg near Lafleche, Saskatchewan begins to empty into the Wood River that flows just to the south and east of Gravelbourg. As well other photos are from Aneroid and near Shamrock Park as the Notekeu floods.
