Spring continues to sputter along this week with reminders that April does bring late-winter-like weather . While parts of the Prairies are dealing with warmth and thunderstorm threats , the East is a much different story. A highly amplified jet stream pattern is the root cause of an extreme temperature pattern across North America this week, with the cold air allowing snow to filter into a good portion of Eastern Canada.
DON’T MISS: Toronto braces for one of its coldest April days as temperatures drop Breaking it down further, Arctic air moved across eastern Ontario this early work week, leading to a shot of snowfall. Meanwhile, more snow is en route for the Great Lakes region this week . A weak system will develop for Thursday, crossing south of the Great Lakes, bringing another wet snow potential in southern Ontario.
Good news for Quebec: The system will fizzle out before affecting it. While a brief reprieve from the cold is forecast this weekend, frequent troughs will allow for more chances of moderated Arctic air to move across Eastern Canada . And, with more cold available in the East, any incoming storms will be watched closely for the chance of a wintry mix.
