Spectacular fall weekend, but with a catch in southern Ontario

Yet another weekend where beautiful weather awaits in southern Ontario, but with a rainy interruption to pay attention to, as well

This weekend will feature some gorgeous fall weather across southern Ontario!

However, like so many weekends this year, the upcoming weekend will also include some rain. A passing shower is possible at the beginning and showers are likely at the end, but sandwiched in between will be a period of spectacular weather which will be ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities.

Please read on for your weekend weather details and a look ahead to next week.

Friday will start off with some sunshine, but we will see increasing clouds later in the day. Scattered showers will track from west to east across our region during the afternoon and into the evening, but most places will get missed and remain dry.
