Canada Braces for First Nationwide Arctic Air Outbreak
As Canada prepares for a notable Arctic air outbreak, residents should brace for a wave of cold temperatures and significant lake-effect snow. This weather phenomenon is expected to unfold in the coming days, particularly affecting areas in the country’s snowbelt regions.
Arctic Air Outbreak Details
The Arctic air is anticipated to spread eastward, influenced by a central trough settling over Hudson Bay. This means that temperatures will drop significantly, reaching as far as the Atlantic coast.
Impact of the Arctic Air
This outbreak will not only bring frigid temperatures but also create ideal conditions for lake-effect snow. As cold winds sweep over the relatively warmer Great Lakes, they will generate substantial snowfall.
- Lake-effect snow expected in snowbelt communities.
- Possible disruptions to travel plans due to heavy snowfall.
- Cold conditions may extend as far as the Gulf of Mexico.
Travel Concerns
The impending storm system could impact holiday travel within the U.S., especially during Thanksgiving week, which falls on November 27. Travelers are urged to stay updated on weather forecasts, as conditions may change rapidly.
Future Weather Predictions
A significant storm is forecasted to form over the central United States by mid-next week. It is likely to move eastward, affecting regions of Eastern Canada.
As the Arctic air outbreak approaches, El-Balad will provide continuous updates on temperature shifts and snowfall projections. Staying informed will be crucial for residents and travelers alike during this period of extreme weather.
