Clear Today, Snow Late Tomorrow

by | Feb 8, 2020 | Muskoka Weather | 0 comments

The Overview

The weather continues to twist and turn. The frigid temps of the last couple of days mark a southern journey for the jet stream. South winds starting later today will bring it back north, and warmer temps. As with the battle of the 45th, the warm and cold will collide near us, bringing a snow front late tomorrow and leaving before work on Monday. Next week is much milder that today and tomorrow. Wiarton Willie has done his prediction – early Spring. Let’s check his accuracy!

The Radar Never Lies!

Our opening temperature starts at -22C(-29C), with a clear sky and full moon, and it will rise to -13C (FL-15C) in the afternoon with some sunshine and then drop to -15C (FL -23C) overnight. The jet stream has gone on a southern vacation til tomorrow.

The winds are shifting around this weekend. They will be lightly out of the North swinging to the South later today. They will pick up in speed overnight, bringing “warmer” temps back north overnight. They might have some intermittent snow in them. Tomorrow night, they will swing to the NW bringing a large snow front from the SW late tomorrow and clearing early Monday morning.

Daylight Hours

Sunrise – 7:28AM, Sunset – 5:34PM. The daylight continues to grow. Even with the snow – there will be melt from hereon. Another 30 days or so til equal day and night.

Road Report

Road report – The roads south of GBay are showing as partly or fully covered. The plows there are busy keeping them drivable in a safer fashion. There are still plows out around Ottawa. But the rest of the province is showing clear pavement which means good travelling. This will change late tomorrow with a snow front coming in around 4PM blanketing most of the province below Hwy 17.
