Slush. The scent of long-buried dog poop. Mushy Tim Hortons litter. So much gravel. It's spring in Montreal, and the weather forecast is starting to reflect it. The seven-day outlook shows a volatile mix of conditions with temperatures finally — occasionally — shooting up, even pushing double-digits (both positive and negative. But we're focusing on the positive.).

The highest temperatures of the week are forecast for Wednesday, March 29, and Saturday, April 1: 8 C and 9 C, respectively, per Environment Canada. Those would be the warmest days of the year so far.

Though Montrealers likely won't get to enjoy those daytime peaks. There's a chance of showers on Wednesday and Saturday should be a washout. Hopefully, that rain will clear some of the pesky gravel from the sidewalks.

The nicest day of the week might be Monday, March 27, with sunny skies and a high of 6 C in the EnviroCan forecast.

Tuesday should be sunny too, though two degrees cooler at its warmest. Sun and a high of 4 C are also in the forecast for Saturday, April 2.

The federal weather department predicts freezing daytime temperatures will return Thursday with a high of just 0 C coming off a Wednesday night low of -10 C.

The seven-day Montreal forecast from The Weather Network is comparable, though it shows temperatures actually hitting a double-digit positive, 11 C, on Saturday — but still with rain.

Montreal has had a much cooler March than it did in 2022. By this time last year, the city had already seen double-digit temperatures twice: 11.2 C on March 6 and a definitely-not-normal 15.8 c on March 17.

When you should actually take off your winter tires in Quebec, according to a meteorologist

"Snow is still possible into the end of March and even into April."

Montreal stores can stay open later starting this month (even on Sundays)

Quebec is one of the only places in North America that still legislates store opening hours.

'Quebec poutine cheese' could soon get a special designation to protect the squeak

The cheese would have protected status like Champagne and Bordeaux wine.
