Southern Ontario braces for cold, strong clipper and possible storm

Friday Dec 5th, 2008 11:00AM EDT-
An Moderate to strong Alberta clipper is set to move in to Southern Ontario Saturday morning, a widespread of 5-10 cm with some isolated regions receiving 10-20 cm is the general trend with this type of Alberta Clipper. Regions in central Ontario will receive 10-20 cm with lake enhancements while a broad 5-15 cm will fall anywhere in Southwestern to South Central Ontario. The Clipper will weaken as it moves into Southeastern Ontario, transfering the energy to the coastal storm. Regions in Southeastern Ontario will receive 3-7 cm of snow.


Looks like we are heading for loads of winter weather the next 7 days, we are shaping up for the most exciting 7 days so far this winter. A sure thing Alberta Clipper will make everywhere look all white and nice again while a possilbe potent snowstorm is the the doorstep

We have to suffer from the bare grounds all this week despite the cold temperatures from time to time, that will all change as a Alberta Clipper takes a direct hit in southern Ontario. Moderate to Strong Alberta Clippers are usually ones that brings a very consistent 5-15 cm snow and rarely disappointments due to the temperature associated with these types of storms. The exact amount each places will receive will be highly dependent on the bands of snow that will set up and the dry slots. It is very difficult to predict that til the precip is shown on the radar.

One thing is for sure though, we are gonna have some decent snowfall amount.

Sunday seemed like a very cold day, we could get our highs close to the -10 mark, with some windy conditions, you should definitely dress up well that day wherever you are going.

The storm that is consistently shown on models still is now in the trackable range, a storm possibility is definitely the case. We are looking right now in an Alberta Clipper diving and gulf moisture moving North. This seemed like a very familiar story with the last two disappointment, but this time, cold air is in place. where we only got a messy rain or rain-snow mix, looks to be all snow if things shape up right.

Of course there are no guarantees as of yet but I am confident right now with a storm taking place. One thing is for sure once again, a even COLDER arctic blast will arrive right behind lows below -20 is not out of the question and this could make a quite frigid Holiday shopping weekend next week.

We could be looking at even more clippers and storms later on, but that story is left to be told another day.
