THIS WEEK: OCTOBER'S WARM STRETCH CONTINUES
The very mild pattern will persist throughout the week and temperatures will continue to be 5-10°C above seasonal. However, some regions in northern Ontario could see unsettled weather during the first half of this week.
The boundary over Ontario will allow a warm front to lift into southern areas Tuesday afternoon and evening, bringing a chance of showers and potentially rumbles of thunder as a result of instability in the atmosphere.
Areas north-northeast of Lake Superior sections may get some considerable rainfall through Wednesday, with a large swath expected to see 30-50 mm, though the thunderstorms that do occur could contribute to locally higher amounts.
Considerably less rainfall is expected for areas farther east and west of the lake.
Another round of rain is expected late week, but we should also see some periods of sunshine throughout. The very warm pattern will relax for the following week, but temperatures should continue to be above seasonal.
