Get ready, Montreal! Winter is making a grand entrance with freezing temperatures and possible snow squalls on the horizon over the next 48 hours.
Starting Wednesday, expect some flurries in the evening, with a heads-up from Environment and Climate Change Canada about potential snow squalls hitting during Thursday’s morning rush hour. These conditions could lead to reduced visibility and tricky road conditions.
Around 2 cm of snowfall is in the forecast from Wednesday night through early Thursday, setting the stage for a chilly day. Temperatures are set to plummet to -11°C on Thursday afternoon, but with the wind chill, it will feel more like -23°C. Overnight lows will drop to -16°C, well below the typical seasonal average for this time of year.
As we head into Friday, the sun will make a comeback with a high near -8°C. Saturday will see cloudy skies and a high of -3°C, with the chance of snow creeping in overnight. Sunday is expected to bring more snow, with daytime temperatures hovering around -2°C before plummeting to a bone-chilling -17°C at night.
But fear not, as Monday is set to bring back the sunshine with a high of -11°C, offering a glimpse of relief from the freezing temperatures.
