Rain and thunder

From the Weather Network, snow in Calgary this morning.

Radar is showing steady rain moving into the St. Lawrence Valley at 10pm. The rain will continue overnight with even a rumble or two of thunder. Low pressure will lift into the Ohio Valley and then across Eastern Ontario tonight and Wednesday. Heavy rain is expected along the path of the system in Ontario and Quebec with 30-50mm forecast. As the storm strengthens winds will increase out of the southwest and gradually back to the northwest from 40-60km/h with some gusts to 80km/h forecast on Wednesday. Wind advisories are in effect for portions of New York and Vermont.

Meanwhile snow and blowing snow from the first prairie storm are now winding down as low pressure races into Montana. Between 10-15cm of snow fell in Calgary and eastward towards Maple Creek and south into the Cypress Hills today. Gusty winds and rapidly dropping temperatures made for icy roads and mid-winter conditions. Another storm is expected to drop into Alberta from BC tomorrow and produce 5-10cm of snow in the same regions with gusty winds and more frigid cold.
