Fall Weather

It is a very cool and grey morning here in Kemptville with a temperature right around 13C, but it feels cooler, much like dare I say fall. It rained quite steady most of the overnight period with around 15mm here in town. The low pressure and cold front will slide east into Quebec and New England today. Look for clearing skies later today but with no clouds and cold high pressure in place, there will be a risk of frost in some localities away from water tonight.

Hurricane Ike is moving across southern coastal Cuba this morning and will move into the Gulf of Mexico by tonight. Look for the storm to gather strength and head for coastal Texas by weeks end. Forecasters are eying Corpus Christie at this time.
