Montreal Faces Up to 20 cm of Snow on Wednesday
A significant weather system will impact Quebec on Wednesday, bringing substantial snowfall throughout the region. Montreal and several surrounding areas are expected to be hit hard.
Forecast: Up to 20 cm of Snow in Montreal
The snow accumulation in southern Quebec is predicted to reach between 10 and 20 centimeters. Key affected regions include:
- Montreal
- Estrie
- Outaouais
- Laurentides
- Montérégie
While the risk of rain remains low, it could occur late in the weather episode. The heaviest snowfall is expected during the afternoon and evening on Wednesday.
A Moisture-Rich System
This incoming system will be more organized than recent weather patterns. Originating from the west, it will carry a significant amount of moisture, leading to more intense snowfall. Regions such as Montreal may experience snow lasting into Thursday, possibly enhanced by a second area of low pressure forming later.
Critical Trajectory Considerations
The exact impact of the storm hinges on its trajectory. A path further south would result in colder temperatures, producing primarily snow. Conversely, a northern track could introduce warmer conditions, possibly resulting in a mix of rain and wet snow later in the event.
