.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather will continue today, before low pressure tracks across
James Bay bringing some light rain late tonight and Friday. Milder
air ahead of this system will give way to more seasonable
temperatures later Friday and Friday night following the passage of
its trailing cold front. High pressure will build across our region
this weekend and provide us with mainly dry weather and continued
seasonable temperatures.
