Weekend Outlook: Chilly weather settles in

Colder air floods into the Sault region this weekend to bring colder than normal temperatures. The cold, dry flow will prevent any major systems to move into the region so only scattered nuisance flurries are likely over the next several days. 

This weekend will only be a practice run for what waits around the corner for us next week.

Friday will see scattered flurries through the day that shouldn't amount to much in the way of accumulation. Temperatures will only climb to about -5C in the afternoon and back below -10C overnight.

Saturday will bring much of the same weather with scattered flurries on and off and cooler than normal temperatures.

Sunday may see a slight bump in temperatures but remain below typical daytime highs of -1C for mid-December. By Sunday evening there is the risk of some light widespread snow moving into the region that will continue into Monday.

Next week get ready for the arrival of a Polar Vortex that could push temperatures even lower. Low enough to threaten record low temperatures. Stay tuned.
