FORECASTS
TONIGHT will become partly cloudy with some longer clear intervals
giving a good view of the full moon. Lows will be around 7 C.
THURSDAY will see increasing cloud leading to outbreaks of light rain
more persistent in the north (5-10 mm expected there). Highs will vary
from 17 C in the north to 21 C in the south.
FRIDAY will turn cooler with a few showers in a moderate at times brisk
northeast breeze (40-60 km/hr). Lows near 9 C and highs near 17 C.
SATURDAY will be partly cloudy to overcast with a few showers, less
windy but similar temperatures to Friday, lows around 10 C and highs
around 17 or 18 C.
SUNDAY is not guaranteed to be dry but the odds seem to be tilting more
towards a fairly good outcome with only isolated showers in a northeast
wind flow, partly cloudy skies, lows near 8 C and highs near 20 C except
a bit cooler in the north and near the east coast.
The uncertainty about next week has also shifted a bit more towards a
settled outcome with fairly good temperatures near or a little above
seasonal averages which would mean highs reaching the low 20s. However
the uncertainty has not really gone away and this may tilt back in some
other direction before much confidence can be attached to next week's
outlook.
Similarly, early July now looks a bit better in general than was indicated a day or so previously.
