Mild & showery Tuesday in Montreal

A slow moving cold front is centered across Ontario this morning with radar showing a general area of rain in the Ottawa Valley. The bulk of this moisture should remain north of metro Montreal until this afternoon until the front gets a little closer to the valley. Today will be showery but mild across the region with temperatures already at 9C and highs forecast around 13C. Cooler tonight behind the front with lows down to 1C. Wednesday will be sunny and mild again with highs at least 12C. A warm front will approach the St. Lawrence Valley on Thursday with a surge of mild and moist air. Look for showers late Thursday and Friday and even some thunder, but warming up to around 20C on Friday, which if it occurs, will be the warmest day of 2013 to date. The weekend looks cooler but dry, time to begin cleaning up the debris left behind by the winter.
