One more insanely gorgeous day on the schedule. Then things take a bit of a turn.

But before they do, forecasters are calling for sunny skies and a ridiculous daytime high of 21 C (the average for this time of year is 9 C by the way). However, by late afternoon the clouds will start to roll in and the winds will begin to whip up bringing a chance of showers that will stick around for the evening.

Tomorrow will see a return to more seasonal temperatures but by Sunday we’re looking at a high of just 2 C, and by next week we see lows in the -9 C range. That’s quite the swing! So enjoy today. It’s likely summer’s swan song.
