Workweek Outlook: The warm, dry winter continues

It will be no surprise to anyone that the month of January will be one of the warmest on record. The daytime highs were only a degree or two warmer than normal when averaged out over the entire month, but the overnight lows were about six degrees warmer than normal. Overnight lows dropped below minus twenty only once during the whole month.

This past month, we counted about half of the snowfall we would typically see in January.  The lack of snow for this month and December, combined with a drier-than-normal Fall, leaves little snow in the bush, low lake levels and minimal recovery from the dry conditions last summer.

We might see some brief sun Monday morning before clouds move during the afternoon as daytime highs reach +2°C. Wet snow arrives in the evening, bringing 2-5cm of accumulation overnight.

A few flurries are possible Tuesday morning, with the rest of the day being cloudy as temperatures reach +2°C again.

Wednesday and Thursday bring a mix of sun and cloud as daytime highs climb to +3°C. A northwest wind brings slightly cooler air on Friday under mostly sunny skies.
