Toronto: It’s January, a month when we usually brace for some hefty snowstorms. But this year, things are looking pretty chill across Canada. No major storms are brewing, which is a nice surprise.
Sure, there are some leftover effects from a weekend storm in Atlantic Canada, but overall, it’s smooth sailing for winter weather this week.
According to Matt Grinter from The Weather Network, there might be a few smaller systems popping up, but the big snowstorms that blanket the country aren’t in the cards for now.
The jet stream is playing a big role in this calm weather. For the next week, it’s not set up to bring winter storms to most of Canada.
Grinter explains that a ridge in the west is keeping British Columbia dry, while a trough in the east is keeping the jet stream mostly in the U.S. This means less moisture for the Prairies.
In Toronto, we might be in for the longest stretch of below-freezing temperatures in three years. That’s pretty wild!
Meanwhile, parts of Quebec and Atlantic Canada are dealing with a blocking pattern that’s causing a storm to linger over the region. It’s not just going to blow out to sea; it’s going to hang around for a bit.
So, expect some windy conditions and a mix of rain and snow, especially in Labrador, where they could see some serious snow totals.
Looking ahead, we might see a shift in the weather pattern later in January. The cold air could move back west, and we might get some milder weather in the east.
As January is known for being Canada’s snowiest month, it’s likely we’ll see some more active weather soon. Keep an eye out for those Colorado and Texas Lows that can bring in moisture from the Gulf!
