Up to 10 cm of Snow Returns to Quebec
Quebec is experiencing a return of snow this Wednesday, though it won’t be a major snowfall. Temperatures are expected to rise throughout the day, bringing mixed weather conditions. Special weather advisories have been issued for several regions, particularly Outaouais, where snow accumulation is forecasted.
Snowfall Expectations Across Quebec
According to Environment Canada, areas in Outaouais could see between 5 to 10 cm of snow this morning. The agency warns of reduced visibility in regions experiencing heavier snowfall. Key snowfall predictions include:
- Outaouais: 5 to 10 cm
- Montreal: 2 to 4 cm, possibly more in northern suburbs
- Central Quebec and Abitibi-Témiscamingue: Similar snowfall amounts as Montreal
Potential Weather Challenges
Winds gusting from 40 to 60 km/h could create blowing snow in various areas, further reducing visibility on roads. Travelers should remain cautious while navigating through impacted regions.
Weather Conditions Evolving
The snowfall is expected to diminish in intensity as it moves into Eastern Quebec, where it will become more intermittent. Looking ahead, Thursday forecasts suggest a return of sunshine in southwestern Quebec, but light snow may continue in the central and eastern parts of the province.
Residents are advised to monitor local weather updates for further developments on snowfall and road conditions. Keeping safety in mind is crucial during this transitional weather period.
