Well the long weekend is finally here and it looks to be a warm one. Very warm. All of the forecast models show the same thing and that is a big warm up for Ontario. As you can see from the image above most of the province, including the Kawarthas, will be sitting in the sweet spot between a Low to the west and a High to the east just pumping in warm, southerly winds. With the Jet Stream also riding high to the north the storm track looks to keep that Low out of our region as well. That system should stay north of the Kawarthas as it pushes east...although we could see a few showers by Monday. Add to the mix a lack of cloud cover and excessive daytime heating and you get a record breaking weekend. Tomorrow's all time high record is 16.1 degrees set back in 1946. I expect we'll smash that record tomorrow with a high of 24 or 25 degrees. Saturday's record stands at 21.3 set in 1981 and we're likely to break that as well with a high of 24. This may be the first year I cook Easter dinner on the BBQ...awesome! Enjoy the warm weather and have a great long weekend!
