Low pressure over the western Atlantic will loosen its grip on the region today as high pressure builds in from the Great Lakes. Sunshine and gradually warmer temperatures will prevail right into this upcoming weekend. Temperatures will warm from 7C today to 12 or 13C by the weekend. Some fog may develop in the evening with the rapidly cooling temperatures with frost expected each morning. We has some very dense fog in places after sunset last night including Ile perrot, but it dissipated once the air stabilized later in the evening.
That storm is question has dropped so much rain on Atlantic Canada in the last week. Major flooding continues, especially in and around Yarmouth with rivers on the rise, homes flooded and numerous roads and bridges washed out. Over 215mm has fallen in Yarmouth since Thursday with a remarkable 339mm in Mechanic Settlement, New Brunswick.
Across the west snow has made a return into portions of Saskatchewan. Low pressure over North Dakota is producing record warmth on the east side of the storm with snow and blowing snow on the backside. Regina southeast into Weyburn and Estevan is expecting 5-10cm of snow with some freezing drizzle. Estevan was 19C just 48 hours ago and is now at -1C with freezing drizzle. Roads are snow covered and slippery with poor visibility across the southeast portion of the province and south int North Dakota and Montana. Meanwhile record highs will occur in Minnesota east to Illinois today with highs near 70F.
