MONDAY TO TUESDAY: STORM NEXT APPROACHES EASTERN CANADA
We do not have to wait long for the next potentially influential system to approach Ontario and Quebec. This extensive, moisture-rich system will approach Ontario and Quebec from the south from Monday through Tuesday. Although it is still too early for details, meteorologists can see two scenarios unfolding, one of which could bring significant snowfall to eastern Ontario and southern Quebec. The snowiest scenario would see trapped cold air on the surface in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec, forcing much of the rainfall to fall like snow. A warmer scenario is also possible, which would make this event mostly rainy for the National Capital Territory and Montreal, bypassing the snow farther to St. Lawrence. Looking to the future, another system could affect the area on Wednesday night through Thursday, before temperatures subside by the end of the week. Monitor the possibility for a few days of warmer weather in the last days of April, but a cooler pattern is expected in early May, as a foreclosure pattern is expected to recreate.
