Rain for Saturday? Really?

This weekend (like all summer weekends in the Kawarthas) looks to be a busy one and a lot of what's going on depends on the weather. Everybody wants a good weekend forecast but this weekend is not without a few "blemishes." We'll start with tomorrow. There is a very good chance for rain tomorrow as an area of low pressure pushes in from the southwest. The latest forecast models put the low pressure center riding north of the region but there's a good chance of some frontal precipitation and generally overcast conditions. Our own CHEX FutureCast shows the potential for heavey rain tomorrow morning and possible thundershowers. As for Saturday...well there is hope.
















Here's the latest North American forecast model run and it looks promising. There is a good chance for showers for part of Saturday but we look to at least get a break from the rain that afternoon as we'll be sitting between systems. I don't expect perfect conditions but the rain will likely have moved to the east of us Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately that second system (which I've labelled) moves in shortly after and on Sunday (at this point) it looks like we'll be dealing with some rain. It doesn't look to be a perfect weekend weatherwise, but it's far from a washout. If there are any changes I'll let you know.
