Weekend may feel disappointing in southern Ontario, but the hot weather is near
This weekend may feel slightly disappointing across southern Ontario, but the summer-like heat is building and things could get hot in a hurry!
This weekend will take us back in time with temperatures that are more typical of May.
Once again, the weekend will include some rain, and while the showers may be a bit of a nuisance, most of the daylight hours will actually be rain-free.
Despite this brief fling with spring this weekend, it won't be long until we see some mid-summer-like heat arrive in full force. See, below.

Welcome back to spring!
Friday will feature changeable weather -- cloudy with sunny breaks, occasional showers, and a gusty wind. Temperatures will be several degrees cooler than seasonal, as well.
Friday night will be rather chilly with a risk for showers.
Saturday will be partly sunny, windy, and cool. Most of southern Ontario should be dry during the daylight hours, but scattered showers are likely across cottage country and eastern Ontario.
Temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than seasonal, but still pleasant across southwestern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). However, it will be noticeably cooler across cottage country with temperatures remaining in the teens.
A soaking rain is likely across most of southern Ontario during Saturday night, and it is possible that the rain will arrive early enough to impact outdoor plans during Saturday evening.
The widespread rain should be over by Sunday morning, but if the timing of the system slows down by just a few hours, then showers will linger into the early morning hours.
Sunday will bring a mix of sun and cloudy periods, with a risk for passing showers, but most of the day will be dry. Temperatures will continue to be on the cool side of seasonal.
Temperatures will be even cooler on Monday, more typical of early May. We will continue to have a risk for a passing shower, but most of the day will be dry.
The rest of next week will feature a slow warming trend, with temperatures recovering to near seasonal during the second half of the week with abundant sunshine.
Things heat up during Father's Day weekend
The warming trend is expected to continue through Father’s Day weekend. The timing is still uncertain, but hot weather could arrive as early as Father's Day.
Looking ahead to the following week, we are watching the potential for a stretch of hot weather across southern Ontario for the third week of June.
Check back this same time next week for more details on what you can expect for the Father's Day weekend across southern Ontario.
