Discussion
Humidity levels remain rather high this morning and the combination of this moist air mass and a nearby stalled out frontal system will likely lead to scattered showers and thunderstorms later today and tonight. The chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue on Saturday and then likely increase tomorrow night and Sunday as low pressure rides up along the stalled out frontal boundary zone. Some of the rain that falls from tomorrow night into Sunday can be heavy at times and localized flooding may become an issue once again. Temperatures over the next few days will be rather comfortable for this time of year as strong high pressure builds across southeastern Canada and produces a northeasterly flow of air around here.
