Rainstorm wont dampen pattern, White Christmas in sight

A rainmaker will be on the move tommorow into Monday, temperatures will raise up above 5 degrees mark for the first time in a long time. Most of the surviving snow cover will melt over the next 2 days, however, it looks like we are on our way to have a White Christmas.

As the cold front slices through late Monday, we could get a few centimeters of snow.

The medium range pattern looks great. We are looking at two possible snowstorms in the 4-8 days range. I would normally issue a storm possibility at this time. However, right now the first snowstorm does not look big enough to be a winter storm.

However, the last two runs of models all brings a smaller system in place by Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing 5-15 cm of snow to Southern Ontario. Due to the fact that this storm comes right after the cold front, we are looking at all snow this time. A primary snowfall map will probably be issued tommorow and if this system becomes big enough (10+ cm forecasted for a city), it will become a winter storm.

Temperatures look frigid around the Christmas time, so any snow that falls a week or two prior should be sticking, unless something unusual happens, we are looking at a white Christmas this year.
