A nice "fall like" day for Southern Ontario

Well the day started out kind of gloomy with grey skies and some drizzle in the morning, but the sun soon started to make an appearance across the Golden Horseshoe by the afternoon. Winds were light today and the temperatures managed to make it to the 20°C mark by the afternoon. All in all.. it turned out to be a gorgeous "Fall Like" day around the area.

A cold front will slice through the regions on Monday and will likely bring some shower or even a few thudnerstorms to the Golden Horseshoe area. Temperatures behind the front are considerably cooler and this will set the stage for a prolonged period of below normal temperatures for the region. Mid teens will be the rule from Tuesday onwards into next week.

Here's a look at the temperatures across the region for Sunday:

Hurricane IGOR at Cat 4 status
Lots of activity going on in the Tropics with Hurricane IGOR a strong Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 140mph. IGOR is far out to sea and doesn't pose a threat to any land in the near future. IGOR is expected to remain a strong Category 4 storm and may even reach Cat 5 status for some time over the next few days.
Right on it's tail is Tropical Depression 12, which is expected to become Tropical Storm Julia very shortly. Very warm water ahead of the depression will aid in it's rapid development.
There is another area of disturbed weather in the Caribbean that needs to be watched as very warm water and light wind shear will all aid for development this week. We are now at the peak of Hurricane Season with 2 1/2 months still to go. The way things are going, I think we will see quite a few more storms in the coming weeks.
IGOR is the fourth named Hurricane of this years season and is set to be the first Cat 5 storm.



Monsoon rains have produced some of the worst flooding in decades across northern India, including fears of major, catastrophic flooding in the nation's capital of New Delhi.
