January 2024 Forecasts and Discussions

[Michael1]

temp is +.06 here. already above forecast high. We'll see how this plays out

[Weather101]

Media: Bitterly cold to hang around Southern Ontario

Reality: Temps are only a few degrees below normal

I mean, to be fair, Toronto's average high for this time of year is -2c
It's currently -10c with the day ending.

That's a whole 8c below normal.

And for what it’s worth, the Cliff Mass model.

Cliff Mass model might as well be the NFS when it comes to snow, it's always so stingy LOL

Would be very surprised if YVR managed to stay below 0 this afternoon. However, Grouse Mountain is reporting -5.5C right now, Cypress is -5, and Seymour is -3, so it seems like the upper levels are still quite cool.

Tyler is on team snow

first time above freezing since Thursday and my temp still skyrocketing. +4C over this time yesterday

Once you discount the “snow” the Euro shows falling with 925 mbar temps above freezing, there isn’t much left at the surface. Maybe a slushy cm or two.

It will depend on the thickness of that warm layer and dew points in that layer. It can snow when 925s are above freezing but you end up with low ratio stuff

Yeah. Mark Madriga said this morning substantial snow to be expected, especially the North of the river.

I have nothing good to say about Cliff Mass.

I saw a quote from him posted down south that said “the upper levels were too warm for freezing rain”. That doesn’t even make sense.
