Good morning everyone!

Today will be not as chilly but still below normal as the low pressure that gave us the rain moves to the Canadian Maritimes and high pressure builds from the west. Winds will slowly diminish throughout the day and we will have more sunshine than the last few days.

Thursday will be a partly sunny day and a little milder, there is a cold front that will mainly come through dry during the day but areas to our north may see a sprinkle or light shower.

Friday looks to be the mildest day of the week with plenty of sunshine and high temperatures rising to near 70 degrees.

The weekend looks to be dry and a little cooler especially on Saturday with an onshore flow as high pressure builds from the northeast.

The next chance of significant showers will be Monday night into Tuesday.
