Enjoy a temporary break from winter’s grip this week as sunshine and a slight rise in temperatures bring relief before colder conditions return. However, before that break, anticipate a mix of flurries, drizzle, and potential freezing rain passing through the region.
Start your day with a bright but chilly morning as sunny skies and light winds up to 15 km/h greet you. Despite the sunshine, the morning wind chills may make it feel much colder than the forecasted high of +2°C. Clouds will gradually increase in the afternoon, with the UV index remaining low at 2.
Tonight, expect thickening cloud cover with the possibility of rain showers or flurries starting overnight. Watch out for a risk of freezing rain developing as temperatures hover near the freezing mark. Motorists should be cautious of potentially slick conditions by early Tuesday morning.
Tuesday will bring more unsettled weather with a chance of rain showers or flurries in the morning, transitioning to drizzle by midday. The day may start with a risk of freezing rain before temperatures rise to a milder high of +5°C. Clear skies are expected Tuesday night, with temperatures dropping to minus–6°C.
As we move into midweek, typical winter conditions return. Wednesday will be cloudy with a high near 0°C, followed by clear skies and a sharp overnight low of minus–10°C. Thursday will be sunny yet cool, with a high of 0°C and another cold night with temperatures dipping to minus–10°C.
Friday will bring continued sunshine, though temperatures will slightly decrease to a high of minus–2°C. Clouds will roll in Friday night, bringing a 60% chance of flurries and a low of minus–8°C.
The weekend ahead will be cloudier, with a 60% chance of flurries on both Saturday and Sunday. Expect daytime highs just below freezing at minus–3°C on Saturday and minus–2°C on Sunday, while overnight lows will stay near minus–8°C.
After experiencing a brief period of mixed precipitation and slightly milder temperatures early in the week, be prepared for winter’s chill to make a swift return as we head into the latter part of the week and weekend.
