Weekend Update

Despite my denial, the weather is getting cooler. I toyed with the idea of putting heat on in the car this morning, but then went back in the house for a light jacket. I don't like to do either. I have an unwritten rule, no heat until at least October 1st. After a week long battle with that stubborn upper level low it appears clearing skies are just to our west in Ontario and on the way. Look for sun and clouds mixed this morning before a complete clearing sky by afternoon. The temperature will respond accordingly and reach 21C in southern Quebec and across the Seaway. Tonight under clear skies, it will be cool with some fog developing and lows of 9C (likely 11C in the city). Saturday will be spectacular, sunny and 23C in Montreal. Sunday and Monday will see an increase in clouds followed by showers. Temperatures will cool back into the teens. Low temperatures by late next week could flirt with the freezing point in the rural areas. Just a thought if you have a garden.

TROPICAL UPDATE
The remains of Tropical Storm Hermine are across Missouri and Arkansas today with more heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding. The system is slowly weakening. Meanwhile Tropical Storm Igor has temporarily been downgraded to a depression, however forecast models have the storm as a hurricane approaching the Leeward Islands by the middle of next week. We have not heard the last of Igor and I expect this system may become a big news item down the road.
