Morning Brief: Four things to know about

Monday, November 24, 2014, 7:12 AM - Snow, pounding rain, intense winds and temperatures in the teens. 

One of these things doesn't look like it fits, especially in the current season, but all are on the menu in one part of Canada or another Monday.

Here's your coast-to-coast roundup.

Atlantic Canada

The low pressure system that's bringing strong winds and rain to Ontario will reach the Atlantic provinces on Tuesday.

While the winds won't be in the same 80-100 km/h range as in Ontario, it will still be rainy and fairly windy.


Beyond, forecasters are keeping an eye on the mid week, where a potential nor'easter could form and track north to the region parallel to the U.S. eastern seaboard.

After potentially making US thanksgiving travel difficult, it could bring a wide range of precipitation types to Atlantic Canada, depending on temperature and elevation.

Ontario

Rain moved into southern Ontario overnight, tapering off in most areas into Tuesday, lasting longer in the east.


It's part of an intense low that is also responsible for Sunday's rising temperatures. Temperatures will be even higher today, reaching into the mid teens, but they'll drop sharply beginning in the evening.

The system has a serious downside, however, in the form of intense winds, rising in the afternoon and evening with sustained speeds up to 70 km/h and gusts up to 100 km/h.


It's a snowier story in the north. Snowfall warnings are in effect in parts of the northwest, including Thunder Bay, and most of the region could see a couple of hours of freezing rain and ice pellets in the morning, switching to snow by the afternoon.

Up to 15 cm could fall in some areas by Tuesday morning, and even parts of southern Ontario could see some flurries by then.


Prairie provinces

After a snowy weekend, Alberta is in for some more snow beginning in the evening, thanks to a clipper coming off the Rockies, stretching into Saskatchewan.

Aside from some towns in the southwest, however, amounts will be relatively light.


But forecasters are keeping an eye on the midweek, when a major system could bring heavy snow once again to southern Alberta, beginning Wednesday and lasting in some form through the rest of the week.

Expect temperatures to take a sharp dive by Friday also, reaching down to the -15oC mark, but feeling like -20 or colder with the windchill.

British Columbia

A low pressure system is expected to bring quite a bit of rain to parts of the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island through to Tuesday.


Up to 30 cm of snow is also expected in some of the higher elevations inland, increasing the chance of avalanches, with the risk running from considerable to high across several ranges.
