Things take a turn in the afternoon, with light rain moving in and temperatures climbing to 4\u00b0C. Rain continues into the evening, with about 5mm expected, and overnight showers linger with another 1-3mm possible.<\/p>\n<p>Good Friday brings more of the same to start, with light rain in the morning and a high of 6\u00b0C. The afternoon actually sees a significant jump to 19\u00b0C \u2014 though cloudy with showers \u2014 before cooling back down to 15\u00b0C in the evening under partly cloudy skies. Overnight looks relatively quiet at 3\u00b0C with a 20% chance of precipitation.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, April 4, opens with a mix of sun and clouds in the morning at 3\u00b0C, but rain returns for the afternoon and evening, with 2-5mm expected across both periods. Overnight rain continues with around 5mm more in the forecast.<\/p>\n<p>Easter Sunday is the wettest day of the bunch. Rain is expected from morning through afternoon, with 80% probability of precipitation and around 5mm possible in both the morning and afternoon. It eases off into the evening with mainly cloudy skies, before a partly cloudy overnight brings temperatures down to 1\u00b0C \u2014 feeling like -4\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Monday, April 6, finally offers some relief. The day starts mainly sunny at 1\u00b0C, with the afternoon reaching 5\u00b0C under continued sunshine. A low chance of precipitation (10-20%) sticks around, but it looks like the nicest stretch of the whole long weekend. Overnight drops to -3\u00b0C, feeling like -6\u00b0C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Easter weekend is just days away, and many Quebecers will get either Good Friday or Easter Monday (or&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":573088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[49,48,220278,138290,2338,12695,127230],"class_list":{"0":"post-573087","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-montreal","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-easter-weekend","11":"tag-meteo-media","12":"tag-montreal","13":"tag-montreal-news","14":"tag-montreal-weather"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573087","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=573087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/573088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=573087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=573087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=573087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
