There is a little black ice around the city this morning as temperatures just touched the freezing point around sunrise. Temperatures will warm well above freezing today, close to 4C with sunshine.
After a brief taste of winter over thew weekend, it will be back to fall like weather to start December. Strong low pressure over Nebraska is forecast to move towards the western Great Lakes, and then east into central Quebec by Wednesday. A strong southerly flow of mild and moist air is forecast to develop ahead of the system and push temperatures well above normal in Ontario and Quebec. With this type of a track, rain is expected in Montreal with any snow confined to northern Quebec and the extreme northwest portion of Ontario. It looks like the rain will begin in eastern Ontario during the middle hours of the day on Tuesday and spread east into Quebec by evening. At this time no warnings are posted, but we could see over 50mm of rain. Winds will increase as well with this system. By later in the week colder air will be moving into the region with flurries forecast by Friday and into next weekend.
Congratulations to the Montreal Alouettes who beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 21-18 yesterday in the 98th Grey Cup played in Edmonton. It was the second cup in a row for the Als against Saskatchewan. I lived in southern Saskatchewan for three years, so I know how important that team is to the province. Sorry - but despite the three years there, my allegiance has to lie with my home team since birth. The weather for the game was cold but not the crazy arctic chill of last week. The temperature at game time was -4C and dropped to -10C by the end of the 4th quarter. Thankfully winds were light.
