Record highs across several Canadian cities. Will it last?

Saturday, March 12, 2016, 7:33 PM - Much of southern Ontario and Quebec are basking in the warmth and sunny skies, courtesy of high pressure and a southwesterly flow.

As of Saturday afternoon, Toronto has broken a temperature record. The city hit 17^oC, knocking out the previous record of 16.3^oC set in 2006. It's a stark contrast to this day in 1948, when Toronto set a record low of minus 21.7^oC.

Meanwhile, Thunder Bay broke a century old record. The city hit 15^oC Saturday, knocking out 10.6^oC from 1910.

It seems Ontario isn't the only province soaking up the mild conditions. A strong southerly flow is helping to bump up temperatures in the southern Prairies.

Record highs in the Prairies 

• Medicine Hat, Alberta at 19^oC beats previous record of 18.5^oC in 2007
• Winnipeg, Manitoba at 11^oC beats previous record of 9.7^oC in 2012
• Regina, Saskatchewan at 12^oC beats previous record of 11.3^oC in 1992

While it's looking like a great start to March Break, these conditions will be short-lived in southern Ontario as winds shift to a more northeasterly direction for Sunday. Temperatures will drop to the single digits with rain in the forecast for the Greater Toronto Area, beginning late afternoon and lasting well into the evening.

Meanwhile, the mild air lingers over the Prairies with a chance of a passing shower for southern Manitoba Sunday afternoon.

Here's a look at how some Canadians are enjoying the warm weather.
