Brought to you by the letter "H."

First off, what a weekend! I know it was cold and, for the most part, rainy. But talk about a great time on Saturday. I was dunked 7 times in the dunk tank at Wal-Mart in support of Red Cross Canada and then (after drying off) checked out some amazing wakeboarding and live music from "The Wolf's Big Deck" at the Canadian Wakeboard Championships. Mother nature even gave us some unexpected sunshine on Saturday afternoon to take it all in. We were lucky as Saturday was expected to be a wash out.

Now on to the forecast. Do you see that "big blue H" in the pic. Aside from the fact that my Microsoft Paint skills are improving, that is a great site. That area of high pressure could stick with us for the next week and beyond. In fact, that is a screen shot I grabbed from the latest GFS run for next Monday! Keep in mind that you have to look at a long range forecast with a big grain of salt, but if the trend holds true, we could see sunshine for the next week and a half! Let's hope this model plays out. I'll break it all down for you tonight and also have a update on Hurricane Jimena on the Pacific coast and what could become a new named storm in the Atlantic.

See you tonight on Newswatch at 6pm!
