The long-awaited weather pattern change arrives this week, ending two weeks of relentless cold and snow. Tuesday’s above-freezing temperatures mark the first time since early December that readings have climbed above 0\u00b0C, initiating a thaw that will accelerate dramatically on Thursday, when temperatures could reach 4\u00b0C with moderate rainfall. The pattern change is short-lived as a flash freeze arrives by the end of the workweek.<\/p>\n
Cloudy skies continue Monday with light snow from the morning clipper system tapering off by afternoon as temperatures climb to -5\u00b0C. Most areas receive another 2 to 5 cm as the northwest flow lake effect develops in the evening.<\/p>\n
Tuesday will be cloudy as the pattern change delivers the first above-freezing temperatures since early December, with afternoon highs reaching 2\u00b0C under southwest flow ahead of the next system. The rapid warming begins melting the substantial snowpack as warm air finally displaces the persistent arctic regime. Only a trace of precipitation is expected.<\/p>\n
Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with continued mild conditions as temperatures hover near -1\u00b0C. Quiet weather continues, with only slight chances of a passing shower, as the region remains locked in the warm sector of the approaching Thursday storm system, which promises rainfall and above-freezing temperatures.<\/p>\n
Daytime highs will climb to near +3\u00b0C on Thursday with rain all day. A cold front arrives later in the day, bringing much colder air back to the region, with a flash freeze and temperatures that struggle to reach -10\u00b0C on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The long-awaited weather pattern change arrives this week, ending two weeks of relentless cold and snow, but it’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":303791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40,151107],"class_list":{"0":"post-346859","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories","14":"tag-weekday-weather-outlookjerry-shieldsworkweek-outlook"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/303791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
