Good morning! It was a mostly cloudy start to the day at 8 C as of 7:26 a.m., and the Environment Canada weather service tells us we’ve got 88 per cent humidity and 17 km/h winds from the east-southeast.
We’re likely to see some showers today (60 per cent chance), as well as overnight, albeit with a bit of moon shining through. But you might want to tie down your patio furniture – we’ve got a wind warning today from Environment Canada, with wind becoming 70 km/h, gusting to 90, early this afternoon. High today of 12 C and a low of 2.
After that, we may get a bit of sunshine tomorrow, with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 6 C.

But don’t get your hopes up for a sunny Christmas – after tomorrow, we’re back to rain, and while it likely won’t be a white Christmas, either, we may see a few flakes falling from the sky overnight Christmas Eve and Day.
Currently, visibility is 24 kilometres.
