Nicer weather ahead...I promise.

Today was another "messy" weather day but it wasn't rain that had folks complaining (like yesterday)...it was the wind. Looking at the GFS image above you can see just how windy it was today. Pinched between an area of high pressure to the west and that Nor'Easter to the east we dealt with wind gusts nearing 50 km/h. Over this "messy" two day stretch we've dealt with cold, blustery winds and over 20mm of rain. Are you tired of the wind and rain yet? Good news, that low continues to move east and an area of high pressure should make for a nice one tomorrow...

Here's a GFS shot for tomorrow (I've removed the wind barbs so it looks less jumbled). As you can see, that Nor'Easter is well out of our region and we look to be firmly under the influence of high pressure. While it promises to be sunny and calm across the Kawarthas, Atlantic Canada will still be dealing with that powerful low which will bring over 40mm of rain to some communities and pack sustained winds of 40-50km/h with gusts as high as 80km/h! So while the last two days may have seemed miserable here in Peterborough...just think of our friends to the east and what they'll be dealing with tonight and tomorrow. As for that cold front just west of us tomorrow (above image), I'm not too concerned. It may result in some cloudier conditions than we'd like to see on a Sunday and a little rain (if any) but, on the whole, the weekend is looking pretty good.
