Thursday will be particularly cold in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and the further it goes, the worse it will be.
While the temperature will hover around -7 degrees overnight until Thursday morning in Saguenay, it will drop to -19 degrees Celsius when returning home around 5 p.m.
A snow accumulation of 2 cm is forecast for tonight, as it is for Thursday morning.
In addition, wind gusts of up to 50 km/h will complicate the situation.
It’s going to possibly bring snow squalls early in the morning and then some very cold weather because we haven’t seen cold like that since basically last March, so nine months ago. So, we are forecasting a wind chill tomorrow afternoon of -29
calculated Peter Kimbell, meteorologist at Environment Canada.
It will be barely colder in Roberval, with a wind chill of -28 expected at the end of the day.
According to the meteorologist, it is a cold front located in Abitibi-Témiscamingue which will move east to reach Lac-Saint-Jean then Saguenay during the day.
We expect to have these temperature drops, it’s normal, but to see this tomorrow is a bit of a shock for many
he continued.
Low temperatures could be present for a few days.
There is another cold front arriving on Saturday that will bring cold weather for Sunday and Monday of next week. So on the horizon, all we can predict now is cold. There really isn’t much change.
he concluded.
Saturday will be the coldest day according to Environment Canada, with a maximum of -7 and a minimum of -12. On Sunday, the mercury will drop to -22 degrees.
