UPDATE: Winds are apparently going to be a factor with this storm. Gale Warnings are being raised on Lake Ontario and a high wind warning is in effect for the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Elsewhere expect southwest winds of 30-50km/h with gusts to 80km/h in the valleys. Additional warnings may be needed Saturday.
A windy wet storm that has been drenching the US Midwest is moving into the Ohio Valley and the lower Great Lakes this afternoon. This system even produced heavy snow in the Rockies and western high plains.The storm will move across New York State this weekend and into New England. A swath of very heavy rain has already moved into southwest Ontario and will reach Kemptville by daybreak Saturday. From 15-25mm of rain is expected Saturday in our region with more showers for Sunday. A cold front will then move across Ontario and Quebec on Monday followed by a shot of very cold air and the threat of rain changing to snow by Monday night. Another storm system is forecast to develop along the east coast and may or may not affect our weather. It is too soon to know the exact impact of the second storm on our area but watch for updates over the weekend. In any event next week will be breezy and very chilly right through Halloween as expected.
