A low pressure system moving from west to east and bringing significant powdery snow squalls will sweep across southwestern Quebec on Sunday.
We expect precipitation of powder snow on Sunday, accompanied by strong winds that will form snow squalls initially in the southwest of the province, then up to the Laurentians and in the east of the province at the end. Meteorologist Georgina Barradas from Environment Canada will report later today.
These squalls could be dangerous for drivers as they could temporarily reduce visibility on the road, the meteorologist warned.
This is a situation that needs to be monitored throughout the day as it is conducive to “development,” she said. “We're expecting 2 to 4 cm on the south coast and towards Montreal, but we're talking more like 5 to 10 cm in the Laurentians and the west,” she added.
An accumulation of 5 cm is also expected in Saguenay, but only overnight. According to Environment Canada forecasts, we are expecting a sunny day across the region.
The Quebec region and Bas-Saint-Laurent are likely to experience rainfall later in the day, bringing 2 to 4 cm of snow.
Quebecers are therefore expected to start the week with snowfall on Monday, with stable temperatures until Wednesday, when a certain mild period is expected, according to the federal agency. Rattle.
