In a year that has so far featured mostly temperate conditions to more or less cooler than normal weather it’s strange to think that we may be facing a long spell of heat in our weather picture in the not too distant future. In other words, it appears that we may be experiencing a bit of a “heat wave” later this week as temperatures in the longer term look to climb to above normal levels and possibly stay in that range through the end of the month. In the short term, we’re enjoying Canadian high pressure today and will generally stick with that mild air mass through tonight and Wednesday before a change in the jet stream aloft allows the heat to build in later in the week.

Seasonable warmth lingers in the region for the mid week as surface high pressure builds in for a couple of days.

A large upper level low comes in for Sunday and Monday, possibly leading to a more widespread thunderstorm threat for a few days late in the weekend and for the first part of next week. Heat and humidity look to stick around through the next week or so.
