Southern Yukon's snowfall to end by Wednesday afternoon

Yukon outlook

After a very snowy end to the month, some relief is heading to the Yukon in the form of high pressure. 

Yesterday, a low pressure system brought around 10 cm of snowfall to areas like Whitehorse, the heaviest of the snow falling in the early part of the day. 

Although a few flurries could linger this morning through the south of the territory, clearing is expected this afternoon with more sunshine on the way tomorrow. A high of 2 C is forecast for Whitehorse.

Temperatures should also slowly rise through this week. It will remain cool through most of the territory today, but temperatures should rise back up to 8 C in Whitehorse by Friday.

Windy weather will return to the Kivalliq region today as a strong low pressure system moves in from the west. Winds will gust up to 70 km/h in areas like Rankin Inlet and Arviat, with snowfall mixed with rain in the south through the day.

Clearing conditions are expected in the Kitikmeot today with high pressure building in and after an extremely windy day in Grise Fiord yesterday (with gusts to 110 km/h), things should calm down today with gusts to 50 km/h.
