Rain, rain, rain but fingers crossed for a sunny Sunday

[guest]

The record-setting big wet just keeps getting wetter but we can pin our hopes on Sunday — the only day without a risk of rain until late next week, according to the latest from Environment Canada.

Friday’s forecast is showers — no kidding — with the risk of a thunderstorm (surprise!). Fog patches should burn off on the way to a high of 25 C that will feel more like 34 because of the humidity.

The showers should end Friday night but the risk of a thunderstorm will lingers. The low should be around 18 C.

There’s a 40-per-cent chance of showers Saturday morning but even if they hold off, showers begin in the afternoon and there’s the risk of a late-afternoon thunderstorm. The high is expected to be 24 C and low 16 C.

So far, Sunday is forecast to be pure sunshine with a high of 26 C and low of 15 C under clear skies.

Then we’re right back into the risk of rain with a 40-per-cent chance of showers Monday and high of 31 C under mixed sunny and cloudy skies.

The same looks to be on tap for Tuesday with a high of 28 C. The chance of showers rises to 60 per cent Tuesday night.

For Wednesday, there’s a 30-per-cent chance of showers and high of 23 C.

Thursday’s forecast is a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 21 C – with no mention of wet stuff.
