Chilly and Wet Weekend

A chilly and wet weekend is currently forecast across the region. While most of Saturday will be dry, we’ll be stuck in the clouds as highs top out in the mid 50s. A few showers may be possible late overnight as lows drop into low 40s.

More wet weather is expected come Sunday. Low pressure will be to the south of the region, meaning we’ll see some chilly northeast winds. Once again highs will be limited to the mid 50s.
