After enjoying mild weather on Thursday, residents north of the St. Lawrence River, from Gatineau to the Laurentians, could be in for a chilly surprise Friday morning. A return to wintry conditions is anticipated, with snow expected to develop.
Snowfall Expected Friday Morning
Temperatures hovering around the freezing mark combined with light accumulations of snow are forecast for areas including the Outaouais and Laurentians. While precipitation isn’t expected to be heavy, even a small amount of snow can create hazardous driving conditions, especially for those who have already switched to summer tires.
Meteorological models predict accumulations of 1 to 3 cm for many sectors, with localized areas potentially receiving up to 5 cm. Further south, including Montreal, rain is more likely.
Potential Travel Disruptions
Don’t underestimate the impact of these few centimeters of snow! They could significantly disrupt your morning commute. Drivers are urged to exercise caution and be prepared for slippery road conditions. It’s a good reminder to check the latest meteo media forecasts before heading out.
