Reality has settled back into southern Quebec and Ontario this morning with temperatures in the -2C to -4C range and really not going anywhere today. Gusty northerly winds overnight along with a strong cold front are responsible for the colder air with temperatures over 25 degrees colder than last Monday. Despite the blustery chill today, it will be sunny and dry. The week looks rather mundane with just a few flurries or showers mid week as a weak system skirts along the US border. Otherwise it will be cold to start and gradually warming up by the weekend. The big news today will be the cold with temperatures dropping to -9C in the city tonight and even colder off island. Quite a shock to the system after the record highs of last week.
Winter is taking back March over most of the country with heavy snow and strong winds forecast across southern Saskatchewan late tonight and Tuesday, spreading east into Manitoba. Meanwhile a strong low pressure area is forecast to develop east of Cape Cod and move north towards Atlantic Canada. Heavy snow and strong winds are forecast in New Brunswick, the Gaspe region and portions of Nova Scotia by Tuesday. I will post more on these storms later today including warnings and watches.
