Cool, windy and showery

Summer one day, Fall the next. What a difference a day can make. A strong cold front crossed the region yesterday evening and that erased the warmth and humidity and replaced it with cool and windy Autumn like conditions. Clouds mixed with some sunshine across the region today along with gusty winds up to 60km/h at times. There was also periods of Lake Enhanced Showers crossing the area from time to time. These showers were caused by the cooler air moving over the warm waters of Lake Huron and stretched all the way to the Golden Horseshoe. You can see by the surface map from earlier today that the isobars are fairly tight across the region which is why the winds were quite strong today.


Taking a look at the temperatrures across the region today...

Gusty conditions should continue on Thursday with some isolated showers once again, however they will be more widespread. Winds should diminish by the afternoon hours and sunshine return. Sunshine is expected into the weekend, but temperatrures won't be that warm. Normal values for this time of year are 22°C... that will be the warmest we will likely see, probably Saturday, during the next 10 days.

In International Weather News....

Tropical Storm Igor has formed off the African Coast and is moving westwards in the open Atlantic. Igor is forecast to become a Hurricane by the weekend, but is no threat to land any time soon.
