Montrealers could see another mix of sun and light snow this weekend, following partly cloudy skies Friday night.

An overnight low of -12 C is expected Friday before clearing clouds lead to sunshine Saturday morning.

Saturday afternoon could then bring a mild daytime high of -5 C.

With a snow system approaching Montreal from the southwest, there is a 40 per cent chance the area could see light snow around midnight on Sunday.

That will likely also bring a nighttime temperature of -9 C.

A high of -4 C is expected on Super Bowl Sunday before the mercury drops to -12 C.

The normal daytime high and overnight low for this time in February are -5 C and -14 C, respectively.
