FORECASTS
TONIGHT will become overcast with a few outbreaks of light rain, lows 13 to 17 C.
FRIDAY will be partly to mostly cloudy, breezy, and perhaps a degree or two cooler in some parts of the north in particular, as a very weak front moves in, with scattered outbreaks of light rain. Highs 17 to 21 C.
SATURDAY will be warmer again with perhaps a bit more sunshine in all areas, although cloud will be widespread to start the day. Lows 13 to 17 C and highs 19 to 24 C.
SUNDAY will be partly cloudy, with perhaps less of the humidity without much change in temperature, lows 12 to 16 and highs 18 to 25 C.
MONDAY will become partly sunny with lower humidity and somewhat cooler temperatures, lows 12 to 14 C and highs 18 to 22 C.
TUESDAY will feature increasing cloud and highs near 22 C.
From late Tuesday to about Thursday of next week, cooler air will move in and highs on Wednesday and Thursday may be back down into the teens (15-19 C) with nights a few degrees cooler too. Some showers are likely, with a slight chance of heavier rainfall developing.
The pattern from then on appears rather unsettled and near average for temperatures, if perhaps a bit cool in the daytime hours, compensated by mild nights to reach near average overall.
