Discussion
Weak high pressure will take control today, but then a warm front will lift northward tonight and it could generate a few rain showers in the region. Following the passage of the warm front, winds will pick up in intensity on Thursday and temperatures will climb to noticeably milder levels. A cold front will arrive on Friday and there will be a downward trend in temperatures this weekend as strong, cold high pressure builds across southeastern Canada.
