NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
April is the fastest-warming month of the
year across most of Canada. In spite of
that, a warm, sunny day can quickly turn
cold and wintry. This, of course, will lead to
highly variable weather conditions ranging
from rain and thunderstorms to frost and
snow. In British Columbia, a mild, westerly
circulation off the Pacific is expected to
push milder than usual temperatures into
that province. In contrast, a cool easterly
flow off the Atlantic is apt to create cool
and wet conditions in the east. Therefore,
below-normal temperatures and excessive
moisture will plague the Atlantic Provinces
and portions of eastern Quebec. Between
these two extremes, expect typical spring
weather with alternating mild and cool
spells, as well as dry and wet periods from
Alberta eastward to Quebec.
