A wet weekend? Not entirely.















This morning we woke up to a big change in the weekend forecast. What looked to be another sunny summer weekend was no longer looking very sunnyat all. Our local radio morning shows were suddenly talking about a wet weekend ahead...not good. Well it's not all bad. Yesterday on Newswatch I mentioned the possiblility of some rain on Sunday...well, looking at the latest forecast models, that now looks to be a probability. (Keep in mind it is only Wednesday and things could change for the better). So Sunday looks to be a bit wet. Rainy Sundays can be very relaxing. As for Saturday, I'm not convinced it'll be a wash out. Your favourite morning radio show probably includes a weather report issued by Environment Canada and they are calling for cloudy and wet weather for both Saturday and Sunday. I'm going to stray from our National Weather Service a little bit as I'm more optimistic about Saturday. Looking at the latest American and North American forecast models, Saturday doesn't look all that bad. The image above is from the latest GFS run and it puts that low arriving late Saturday into Sunday. There's a good chance we may see no rain at all on Saturday. Wednesday is usually the day that I start to feel confident about the weekend forecast, but there is still plenty of time for these models to change. Hopefully they change for the better.
