Grand Prix Weekend


A cold front late Thursday has pushed the warm and humid air south of Montreal and we are into natural air conditioning this morning with temperatures in the teens. Today will be sunny, pleasant and dry with temperatures near 21C, just a perfect day. The weekend looks not so perfect for the Canadian Grand Prix Formula 1 race here in Montreal. Low pressure will race form the Midwest US and pass close to the city over the weekend. Showery weather will develop Saturday and could become a period of steady rain late in the day and into the evening with even a rumble of thunder. The good news at this point is it now appears the heavier precipitation will fall well before the start of the race on Sunday. Precipitation will become more scattered in nature Sunday and we may get most of the race in with a dry track. Temperatures will be chilly around 20C, but if the sun breaks out it can warm up very quickly into the mid 20's. Yesterday was a prime example of how quickly it can warm uner the June sun. With partial clearing in the afternoon the temperature soared to 28C rather quickly. Be safe and enjoy the race.
