STATE COLLEGE, PA (AccuWeather.com) -- AccuWeather.com is forecasting a major winter storm will hit Eastern Canada this weekend, while the string of consecutive rain days continues in B.C.
The unseasonably warm weather that has enveloped Eastern Canada for the past week or so will come to an end this weekend as a major storm develops off the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. After weeks of flowing west to east across North America, the jet stream will dip well to the south, allowing cold air to flow down from the Arctic. Today will be another warm day across most of the East, but a big change is in store for the weekend. Toronto's high today will be 7C, by Sunday the forecast high is -7C with a RealFeel (R) of -14C. Montreal will enjoy a high today of 4C, but by Sunday the thermometer will struggle to reach -8C. North winds at 38 km/h will produce a RealFeel (R) temperature of -21C. Today's high in Quebec City is forecast at 6C, while Sunday's high will only reach -7C, with the RealFeel (R) making it feel like -19C.
AccuWeather.com is forecasting the storm will bring a mix of rain and snow from Southwestern Ontario to the Gaspe and the Maritimes. Most areas of Ontario will receive rain with some flurries mixed in. Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson is forecasting 5-8cm of snow will fall from London to Toronto.
The snow is forecast to arrive in Quebec late on Saturday, with the heaviest snow falling to the east of Sherbrooke into the Gaspe, with another band of heavy snow developing north of Quebec City into Labrador.
The mild weather has not been restricted to Eastern Canada. The average temperature in Winnipeg for the first 12 days of January has been 17C above normal for this time of year. That could change next week. Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson is forecasting the northern branch of the jet stream will pour Arctic air across the Prairies, with the potential for below-normal temperatures and snow by Wednesday of next week.
