Thanksgiving has delivered a striking weather split across Canada, with millions on the Prairies seeing their first snowflakes of the season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alberta and Saskatchewan both received their first snowfalls<\/a> of the fall season through the long weekend. Temperatures tumbled over 10\u00b0C below seasonal across pockets of the Prairies.<\/p>\n

Will the West snow last?<\/p>\n

Prairie snow gets a short stay.<\/p>\n

By late week, some regions that dealt with accumulating snowfall will be surpassing 20\u00b0C by Friday and Saturday, highlighting how stubborn the warmer weather has been in Western Canada.<\/p>\n

This interruption fits the broader theme of our fall forecast<\/a>, highlighting how even an extended fall can still bring sharp bursts of winter-like weather.<\/p>\n

This rapid temperature rebound is courtesy of a strong, building ridge of high pressure in the atmosphere, vaporizing the recent snowfall.<\/p>\n

The forecast ridge extends from the Pacific Northwest north across the Northwest Territories.<\/p>\n

Southern Ontario burst of summer!<\/p>\n

While parts of the Prairies shake off the wet snow, southern Ontario gears up to feel like the low 30s<\/a> through Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\"Ontario<\/p>\n

A sudden surge of summer-like warmth is blanketing southern Ontario to start the week, peaking on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Humidex values set to peak in the low 30s for millions of Canadians, while cold lurks across northern Ontario and Quebec.<\/p>\n

Just ask Timmins, Ont., where conditions farther north are pretty stark:<\/p>\n

Will Ontario’s heat last?<\/p>\n

No, and that’s fall.<\/p>\n

A sharp Eastern Canada trough is forecast to develop into next weekend, with a potentially stronger storm developing off the amplified pattern.<\/p>\n

This will be an abrupt transition, and even some flakes could mix into some northern regions of the Great Lakes with cooler air aloft by Friday night.<\/p>\n

Most of Canada has really been treated to an extended, gentle slide into fall weather, but as advertised, winter-like interruptions remain likely. However, they just don’t stick around.<\/p>\n
