All right, the Dome is open.
Of course it is. It feels like summer out there.
We've got completely clear skies.
We've got summer like temperatures,
and we also have a titch of humidity.
And I know that you noticed it today.
I know many people were messaging me,
like my hair is getting bigger by the hour and
I'm like,
I don't have that problem.
But I understand if you do.
And here's the thing, if you don't have air conditioning,
it is also uncomfortable both during the day as well
as sleeping weather with that humidx now at 32 to
33 across the golden horseshoe.
Around the golden horseshoe. Felt like 35 to 37 today
down through southwestern Ontario.
The humidity still in place tonight and tomorrow,
then it is going to be a slow progression eastward.
By Thursday we're going to get into that fresher feel.
So just another day, day and a half of the
mugginess to deal with.
We have some very high UV indices to get through
this week and 9 eights and nines that mean that
fair skin can burn at about 5 to 10 minutes
if it's unprotected. No sunscreen,
darker skin like myself, about 20 minutes,
15 to 20 minutes. So make sure you've got that
sunscreen on Saturday.
It's lower. This is not a function of temperature.
It is a matter of sun angle and cloud cover.
And yeah, Saturday, you guessed it.
We've got some more cloud on the way now,
those storms through Ottawa, just about out of there,
heading towards southern Quebec and over towards the Montreal and
the Eastern Townships.
Now this evening in Toronto,
22° this is your 10:00 PM temperature by the way.
So it stays super warm tonight.
But when we take a look at that precipitation over
the next five days,
most of this is coming over 2 days tomorrow.
And of course Saturday when I showed you that UV
index is going down.
So Thursday and Friday will be a couple of dry
days.
But the storms tomorrow Storm Prediction Center out of the
US has this yellow which is the slight risk of
severe storms coming right up to the border.
So what happens at our side of the border?
Well, I'm putting areas north of Toronto into cottage country,
the escarpment at that same area of Eastern Ontario into
the greatest risk for severe storms.
And really it's going to be the wind that's going
to be the biggest impact here,
70 to 90 kilometer per hour wind gusts still hot
and humid tomorrow as I mentioned.
Those gusty winds could topple loose items,
so make sure everything is nice and secure.
There are a couple of dry days Thursday and Friday
and then we're back to seasonal for the weekend.
It's going to be a fresher feel,
but we do have to watch the showers on Saturday
because those could spit out a couple of more thunderstorms
as well.
Whereas Sunday it looks like we're going to end off
the next weekend on a dry note.
