Synopsis:
The coldest air of the season so far will be with us tonight. Arctic air will continue to spill in on Northwest winds between the storm in Eastern Canada and a strong area of high pressure heading in from Central Canada. The winds will diminish tonight but wind chills will be below zero. Please dress in layers, cover any exposed skin and check in on the elderly and keep an eye on your pets.
The High pressure will provide a mostly sunny sky despite the numbing cold on Sunday.
There is light at the end of the tunnel-temperatures will rise above freezing next week. This will be the first time the mercury has been above the freezing mark since Christmas Day.
A bit of light snow or a mix will fall Monday afternoon as a weak system moves in from the West. This will not add up to much in the way of accumulation.
A January thaw will be well received as readings go well above average by Thursday and Friday.
Stay tuned.
