The holiday season brings excitement, but the weather forecast for Eastern Canada is uncertain this year. Multiple snowy clippers have been reported throughout December, particularly affecting regions south of Ontario and Quebec.
Changing Storm Tracks Impact Christmas Forecast
Upcoming weather patterns indicate a shift, as new clippers are expected to travel through Lake Superior. This change will affect snowfall distribution significantly.
Predicted Weather Patterns
- Snow in northern areas
- Liquid precipitation and thawing conditions in southern regions
The anticipated weather system may lead to reduced snow accumulation in southern Ontario. Communities including Windsor, Toronto, Hamilton, and Kingston face low confidence for a white Christmas this year.
Snow Chances for Traditional Snowbelts
In contrast, traditional snowbelts and northern Ontario are forecasted to maintain a healthier snowpack. These areas are expected to have at least 2 cm of snow by Thursday morning.
Implications for Major Cities
As the low-pressure system progresses eastward, snow is also likely to reach eastern Ontario and southern Quebec. This development increases the likelihood of a white Christmas in cities like Ottawa and Montreal.
Monitoring Conditions in Atlantic Canada
The storm’s trajectory will also influence holiday conditions in Atlantic Canada. Residents throughout the region will need to monitor updates to determine the possibility of snowy or dry Christmas mornings.
As the holiday approaches, the impact of this single storm could determine Canada’s chances of a white Christmas in various regions. Stay informed for the latest weather updates from El-Balad.
