A strong low over Quebec along with high pressure building from the west will give us a brisk westerly flow of cold air today. Skies will become mostly cloudy by this afternoon and there is a slight chance of seeing our first snow flurries of the season. Winds gusting to 30 mph will cause wind chills to fall into the teens and 20s.
Still cold on Wednesday but with less wind as high pressure builds closer to our area.
Thursday will be milder with sunny skies as the high pressure will be to our south giving us a southwesterly flow.
A fast moving low pressure system will give us rain mainly Friday afternoon into the evening, rainfall amounts will be less than 1/2 inch.
After a dry Saturday a potentially stronger low pressure system will give us a good chance of rain Sunday into Monday.
