FORECASTS
TONIGHT will be misty with fog patches, mild and humid, lows around 13 C.
SATURDAY will be partly cloudy to overcast with a few showers, highs around 21 C.
SUNDAY will be cloudy with occasional showers, some rather heavy with 10-15 mm amounts expected. Lows near 14 C and highs around 19 C.
MONDAY will become partly cloudy with showers more isolated, lows near 12 C and highs near 20 C.
The following week will see less cloud and more sunshine than this week, although it likely won't be a lot warmer as a result, with highs generally close to 20 C, and nights perhaps a bit fresher 8-10 C. It may eventually warm up slightly to the 22-24 C range by about the weekend of 17th-18th, after which it appears that the pattern may become a little more active with stronger frontal systems in the mix giving heavier showers and perhaps more thunderstorms than has been the case so far this summer.
