"Newfoundland will remain unsettled and cool today, with drizzle and light rain for the eastern portion of the province," says Soderholm. "A messy/unsettled Father's Day weekend is currently forecast for the Atlantic."
3. Enjoy the sunshine today, Ontario
Sunshine and above seasonal temperatures dominated much of southern Ontario on Monday and these conditions are expected to continue today.
"There's a possibility for an isolated non-severe thunderstorm today in extreme northwestern Ontario as a cold front will be slowly moving through," Soderholm says. "Rain will push into southern Ontario tomorrow morning, with the possibility for a thunderstorm."
4. Temperatures dip across parts of the Prairies
Isolated thunderstorms popped up in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan yesterday, prompting severe thunderstorm warnings. Hail and strong winds were reported.
Rain will continue in central portions of Saskatchewan and Manitoba today with up to 20 mm possible as the low pushes east.
"Thunderstorms are expected along the cold front in northeastern Manitoba by the evening hours tonight," Soderholm says.
Meanwhile, "Alberta will remain below seasonal (arguably chilly) with the possibility for an isolated thunderstorm along the foothills, and to the north of Edmonton. Isolated showers are also expected Calgary," adds Soderholm.
