Mostly dry, cool week on the way

So much for an early summer =( at least one that comes in April!

Brrrrr....

The good news is that high pressure is again taking a dominant stance in our weather. The bad news is that this particular high pressure is rooted over the Hudson Bay and is going to make things a bit chilly for the coming week, possibly even two weeks. Temperatures will likely remain in the 40s and 50s, cooler near the lake shore, and very chilly at night - potentially below freezing in some areas.

Thunderstorms are highly unlikely during any point in this period. Our next chance of rain appears to be Thursday, when a weak low will likely pay us a visit. The latest GFS run is making much more out of this low than the ECMWF. One way or another, the rain it brings will either be light or moderate and nothing to write home about.

A better chance for rain appears to arrive on or around May 1st. Again, no thunderstorms look likely for the period, and there's little indication of anything on the horizon for the time being.
