Western Quebec Braces for Snowy Thursday with Weather Warning
The Ottawa-Gatineau region is bracing for significant snowfall on Thursday. A weather warning is in effect for western Quebec, indicating snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 centimeters in specific areas.
Weather Forecast for Ottawa and Gatineau
Snowfall is expected to begin late Wednesday night, transitioning into Thursday. Communities north and east of Gatineau are particularly under watch. Key areas affected include:
- Grenville-sur-la-Rouge
- La Pêche
These regions are forecast to receive the highest accumulation, while Ottawa and Kingston are expected to see lesser amounts between 7 to 9 centimeters. This weather system will also bring a drop in temperatures, resulting in potentially slippery conditions.
Temperature Considerations
Temperatures in Ottawa have been notably warmer than average. As the snowfall approaches, a shift is anticipated. The overnight temperature is expected to fall to around –13°C, with Thursday’s high reaching only –12°C. Additionally, nighttime temperatures could plunge to –20°C, combined with wind chill making it feel even colder.
Impact on Local Activities
The recent mild temperatures have previously influenced the status of local attractions, such as the Rideau Canal Skateway, which was temporarily closed. Residents are urged to exercise caution due to the incoming snow and freezing conditions.
By preparing for the impending weather, residents of Ottawa and the surrounding areas can ensure their safety and maintain awareness of changing conditions.
