I don’t have one complaint about the forecast today. It’s going to be darn-near perfect. The temperature will hit the goldilocks zone, not too hot and not too cold but just right. We are expecting a mix of sun and cloud this afternoon and a daytime high of 23 degrees. Overnight will be mainly cloudy and a low of 12 degrees.

Tomorrow looks like it going to be another humdinger with a daytime high of 25 degrees and the clouds move out in the morning and we’ll see sunny skies all day. There is a 60 per cent chance of showers overnight.

This is the last weekend before kids head back to class and I really couldn’t think of a better forecast to allow everyone to enjoy some last minute fun in the sun before hitting the books.
