Skaters on the outdoor rink at the Discovery Centre had a great day Thursday, but with temperatures in the plus double digits Friday the ice conditions could be a challenge. The weather channel is forecasting daytime highs will remain above freezing at least until January 13th, and even the overnight lows will be just under freezing.
Warmer temperatures almost always come at a price in the heart of winter, however, and we’ll pay for the relative comfort with several rounds of rain heading into early next week.
Widespread rainfall totals of 15-25 mm are expected across southern Ontario through New Year’s Day on Sunday, with heavier totals of up to 30 mm possible across eastern Ontario toward the National Capital Region. Lower totals are expected into cottage country, with a relatively steep cutoff in rains heading toward the Nickel Belt.
