Calm before rain & snow returns to Montreal on Tuesday

Monday began on a calm note for Montreal’s weather after a large part of Quebec was swept by a low-pressure system that left significant amounts of rain in its wake last week.

Cloudy with a 30 per cent chance of flurries to start off the work week — with a risk of freezing drizzle.

A high of 3 but feeling more like -11 with the wind chill.

Environment Canada forecasting that rainfall will start again Monday night and end Tuesday morning.

But there is a 30 per cent chance that the precipitation will return throughout the day — seeing a high 3 degrees in the afternoon.

Come Wednesday, periods of snow or rain are forecasted by the weather agency — the mercury set to stay the same at plus 3.

Skies clearing on Thursday with periods of snow at night.

Montrealers will then be welcomed with snow to start the weekend. — a high of -2 degrees on Friday but that’s dropping to -12 on Saturday with 60 per cent chance of flurries.

Sunday seeing sunshine with daytime highs of -13.
