Discussion              

The cold weather pattern will continue here right through the weekend as “reinforcements” head in this direction from central Canada. In fact, it turns even colder over the next few days and temperatures later this weekend will struggle to escape the 30’s which is well below the normal highs in the mid-to-upper 50’s. The winds will increase in intensify later today with gusts up to 30 mph or so and this will make it feel even colder than the actual air temperature and it’ll stay quite brisk on Friday and Saturday as well.
