It's a tale of two seasons this weekend with some parts of the country feeling like fall and other parts feeling like summer. Here's your Saturday weather brief.
Atlantic Canada
- Maritimes: Warmer weather will build into the area this weekend. The next chance for showers is Monday, and mostly for New Brunswick.
- Newfoundland: On-and-off rain is expected through Saturday.
Ontario & Quebec
- Ontario: Humidity is expected to return on Saturday into Sunday, where it will feel closer to 36oC both days in southern Ontario. Northwestern Ontario could see some severe storms.
- Quebec: Humidex values are expected to reach near 40oC or greater through the weekend. There's a threat of showers for the first day of school.
Western Canada
- Prairies: As a fall-like low tracks in from the U.S., rain is in store for southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba over the weekend. Wind gusts of up to 80 km/h are expected Sunday for Saskatchewan, with rainfall totaling up to 30 mm by the end of the weekend for some communities.
- British Columbia: Temperatures return close to seasonal as showers are expected to wrap up over the next day or so. Meteorologists are tracking hurricane Ignacio as the storm is expected to make its way to the B.C. coast by Tuesday. While it is unlikely Ignacio will be at hurricane status, it will be an extra-tropical cyclone, which is likely to enhance rainfall amounts over the region.

Fall Outlook
- Summer weather will linger deep into September for most Canadians, followed by a sudden and extended temperature drop for many, The Weather Network predicts in its Fall Forecast for September, October and November. Above-seasonal temperatures are then expected to return later in the season before winter arrives. Precipitation, meanwhile, will be near or below normal levels for most of the country throughout fall.
