The snow still hasn’t said its last word, as up to 15 cm of snow is expected to fall in various parts of the province.
A duo of systems, one from the US East Coast and the other from the Great Lakes, should fly over the province on Monday evening, bringing mostly rain to southern Quebec and a few more snowflakes as they approach ballast.
Quebec might potentially add up to 5 cm to its snow cover overnight from Monday to Tuesday. Since the mercury will be above freezing, the snow is likely to be quite heavy and wet. This will be swept by gusts of up to 70 km.
“Montreal might also receive snowflakes, but they should change to rain as the day progresses, taking into account the temperature,” added meteorologist Maja Rapaic, meteorologist for Environment Canada, in an interview with the QMI Agency.
The metropolis should also receive gusts of up to 70 km / h. Power outages are to be expected.
The northeastern regions of the province, which have been accumulating snowfall records since the start of the winter season, should still receive a good snowfall over the next few hours. About fifteen centimeters are expected in Minganie, in the east of the North Shore and in Saguenay.
“It’s still quite common at this time of year for these sectors to have good amounts of snow,” said Ms. Rapaic.
Another region used to spring snowflakes, Gaspésie should, this time, settle for 2 to 4 cm of snow Tuesday morning, but it might accompany an episode of freezing rain.
