As the Montreal snow melts by the second thanks to the winter rain, all eyes are on whether we’re going to have a white Christmas.
According to reports by MéteoMédia, there are two weather scenarios in the mix.
A chance of snow in the southern part of Quebec is becoming clear, with a system coming from the south that could bring precipitation from Wednesday to Thursday.
While the amount of precipitation remains uncertain at this time, there are two scenarios in the mix.
The incoming air mass will ensure that temperatures remain below 0°C at higher altitudes, however surface temperatures could hover around the freezing point—meaning snow accumulation may be hindered on the ground.
The first weather scenario predicts little-to-no snow accumulation, with less than 3 cm covering the ground in the southwest of Quebec.
If the weather from the south takes a more northerly path, bringing more consistent precipitation, a second scenario where areas of Montreal could receive 5 to 10 cm in some places emerges.
