An uncertain holiday forecast looms over Eastern Canada as December storms impact weather conditions. In recent weeks, a series of snowy clippers have moved southward, affecting areas in Ontario and Quebec. However, upcoming changes in storm tracks could significantly alter predictions.
Impact of Incoming Storms
Forecasts suggest that a new low-pressure system will navigate through Lake Superior. This storm is expected to bring significant snowfall to northern areas, while southern regions may experience rain and thaws. These conditions could diminish the current snowpack across various cities.
Areas Likely to Have Snowy Conditions
- Communities in northern Ontario
- Traditional snowbelts
Regions such as Ottawa and Montreal may see increasing chances of accumulating snow as the system progresses. By Thursday morning, areas with a healthy snowpack could report at least 2 cm of snow.
Forecast for Major Cities
- Windsor: Low chances for a white Christmas
- Toronto: Uncertain snow levels
- Hamilton: Uncertain snow levels
- Kingston: Low chances for a white Christmas
Residents in these cities should prepare for potential rain rather than snow. The forecast confidence remains low for a traditional white Christmas.
Considerations for Atlantic Canada
Atlantic Canada also faces uncertainty as it awaits the storm’s trajectory. Coastal cities will need to monitor forecasts closely to see who will enjoy a snowy Christmas morning.
As weather conditions evolve, communities across Eastern Canada should stay updated on potential storm impacts leading up to Christmas.
