This weekend may be the rosiest, driest of the summer yet

Saturday, July 29, 2017, 7:16 AM - After no shortage of weekends with at least some storms or precipitation this season, this weekend is looking relatively rosy for southern Ontario.

After a few shots of rain in the leadup this week, high pressure is set to dominate much of the weekend for both Ontario and neighbouring Quebec, meaning clear skies.

Temperature-wise, Saturday is looking relatively mild, but the mercury creeps up again by Sunday, with high-20s daytime highs feeling a little past 30 with the humidity. Heat warnings are already widespread in the northwest.

"The extreme northwest by Saturday evening will see showers and thunderstorms as the cold front from Manitoba tracks in," Weather Network meteorologist Nadine Hinds-Powell says. "Through Sunday, that boundary tracks across northern Ontario, with thunderstorm risk."

In the south, there's a slight chance of an isolated thundershower though southwestern Ontario, and a slightly enhanced risk area through eastern Ontario as the cold front begins to dip southward.

Heat returns somewhat in the new week, as does unsettled weather, beginning with a few more scattered showers and thunderstorms Monday.

"A cold front will cross northern Ontario late Tuesday and impact central and southern Ontario and Quebec on Wednesday with a period of showers and thunderstorms along and ahead of the front," Weather Network meteorologist Dr. Doug Gillham says. "The front could really slow as it crosses southern Ontario with the threat for showers and thunderstorms lingering into Thursday."

Gillham says says it will be cooler behind that front in the leadup to the long weekend, with a couple of days with daytime highs in the low 20s across the south, struggling to reach even that in central and northern Ontario.
