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