Montreal Braces for Icy Commute, Wet Spring Ahead

0:00It's March 25, Canada news today starts now. AI powered and ready, I'm Cory with the story. Environment, Canada put out a special weather statement for the greater Montreal area early Wednesday morning. Snow will move in that evening before switching to freezing rain overnight. This sets up icy roads for Thursday's morning commute. Up to two millimeters of ice could build up, turning surfaces slippery and causing delays around 7 a.m., rush hour. The tricky stretch won't last long, though, as temperatures rise above freezing through the day. This lines up with February's forecast for a cold and wet spring across southern Quebec. Experts predicted below normal temperatures and extra precipitation, with any warm-ups being short-lived. Looking ahead, Thursday afternoon tops out at 9 degrees Celsius with periods of rain. Friday cools to zero degrees and stays sunny. Monday dips to minus 3 degrees, Sunday hits 6 degrees, and Monday brings a wintry mix. Drivers might want to shift their commute even half an hour later, Thursday to stay safe.
