Discussion              

The weakened remains of Tropical Storm Ophelia will drift only slowly away from the area during the next couple of days and we’ll continue to experience cool, damp conditions with occasional light rain or drizzle. High pressure builds across southeastern Canada at mid-week and this will result in the return of some sunshine along with continued cool weather conditions, but another upper-level trough makes it somewhat unsettled here late in the week.
