A Low-Pressure System Could Bring A Disgusting Mix Of Freezing Rain, Rain & Snow To Quebec

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for much of southwestern Quebec, including Montreal. The announcement comes ahead of what it says is a low-pressure system that could bring an early-spring-like "mix of precipitation" by the end of the week. Looks like Montreal weather is about to get gross.

The federal weather department is currently forecasting freezing rain, but the system and accompanying temperatures so far are casting some doubt on that assessment. The seven-day forecast for Montreal shows temperatures swinging from daytime highs of 4 C on Wednesday and Thursday and -3 C on Friday, to a frigid Friday nighttime low of -14 C.

A 'Major' Winter Storm Could 'Drag' Over Quebec & Unload 30 cm Of Snow

The first big winter storm of the season could be imminent. MétéoMédia is tracking two systems that it says could hit a high-pressure wall over Quebec, forcing them to slowly "drag" over the province and unload copious precipitation.

The site explained Monday that one of those systems remains "volatile" and could change course, and, at the time of writing, Environment Canada hasn't issued any storm alerts for southern Quebec. But if all goes as MétéoMédia says it might, we could be in for up to 30 centimetres of snow this week.

The Quebec Weather Forecast For Spring Has Changed & It'll Make Winter Haters Really Happy

Getting tired of winter clothes, snow and freezing temperatures? You'll be happy to know that MétéoMédia's Quebec weather forecast for spring was updated on Saturday. Not only does this mean mild weather is likely just around the corner, but it also means it should stick around for the long haul sooner than expected.

MétéoMédia had originally predicted a cool Quebec spring in 2022 due to an atmospheric current that would bring "Arctic air descents" into the province. However, the weather agency says the Alaskan ridge has "receded," bringing the cold further west. As a result, it says the jet stream can allow more mild air to move up from the south into Quebec.

Montreal Weather Forecasts Shows A Possibility For Even More Snow This Weekend

Oh, you thought that double-digit positive temperatures meant we had finally turned a corner? Hahaha. No. MétéoMédia and Environment Canada Montreal weather forecasts show a possibility for even more snowfall this weekend, Saturday, March 19, and Sunday, March 20.

The good news is that it seems an incoming low-pressure system is still too far out for meteorologists to definitively say whether the city will be snowy or just rainy.

Montreal Weather Was All Over The Place In February — Here's What To Expect In March

February's weather was... extra. We had snow. We had freezing rain. We had regular rain. Heck, we even had fog — remember that? Luckily, the month ahead is looking to be way more basic. Here's what to expect from Montreal weather in March.

On average, the Island of Montreal and the surrounding areas saw 55 centimetres of snow come down this month, according to Environment Canada meteorologist André Cantin. We had 49 millimetres of rain, which was a lot — the average for February is only 20.9 millimetres. Despite some truly frigid days, the average temperature for the month was -7.5 C, which is actually above the typical average of -7.7 C.

Montreal Weather Could Get Colder Than It's Been In 4 Years Next Week

Well, we couldn't avoid it forever. The worst of Montreal winter temperatures will start to creep in next week following a relatively mild start to the season, according to a Weather Network forecast published January 5. It says the city could see its coldest weather in four years as Arctic air moves east after pummelling Western Canada.

That cold air pocket will glide across Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, The Weather Network says.
