What Happened
MétéoMédia has reported that winter is far from over, forecasting a snowy or rainy spring for much of Eastern Canada. Meteorologist André Monette indicated that the transition from winter to summer will be “long” and “winding” for Quebec and Ontario, with additional snowfall expected in March and April.
Why It Matters
The presence of a cold anomaly in the Canadian Prairies, combined with warmer temperatures in the southern United States, is creating an active weather corridor over Ontario and Quebec. This “confrontation between warm and cold air” is likely to result in above-normal precipitation levels in the Great Lakes basin, raising concerns about potential flooding as the season progresses.
What’s Next
In the coming weeks, MétéoMédia anticipates precipitation levels above normal for most of Quebec, except for the northern and eastern regions, which will remain near normal. The forecast suggests that several snowstorms are still possible in the early spring, and residents should remain vigilant regarding the potential for flooding as conditions evolve.
