Another wet and gray day is behind us.Yesterday followed in the same pattern as the rest of the long weekend....rainy,foggy,breezy and cool.
The high on my thermometer yesterday was +14°C.
Some clearing is expected today and then there's a big change on the way with temps reaching into the mid to upper +20°Cs by mid-week.That weather would have been much appreciated over the weekend.
Conditions here at the time of this post:
+6°C
Overcast w/ light rain
Wind is light NW.

The forecast:
Today
Showers ending this morning then clearing. Amount 2 mm. High 13. UV index 8 or very high.
Tonight
Clear. Low plus 4 with risk of frost.
Wednesday
Sunny. High 18.
The first tropical depression of the year has formed in the Caribbean and may possibly develop into a storm.
From NOAA:
SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THERE HAS
BEEN LITTLE CHANGE WITH A WEAK SURFACE LOW LOCATED JUST TO THE
SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL BAHAMAS. SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM
IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS IT MOVES GENERALLY
NORTHWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER
AIRCRAFT WILL INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM ON TUESDAY...IF NECESSARY.
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM
BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. ANOTHER
SPECIAL OUTLOOK REGARDING THIS SYSTEM WILL BE ISSUED TUESDAY
MORNING.
