A break from the snow with chance of showers in London region

Thursday warm-up before wet weekend CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison says we’ll see mild temperatures Thursday, but to expect showers Friday into Saturday.

Now that all the watches, warnings and weather advisories have come to an end, the region can expect a bit of a warm up starting Thursday.

According to CTV News London Meteorologist Julie Atchison, the lake-effect snow takes a break in advance of our next system.

“The next system will arrive from the south, southwest with cloud cover and moisture streaming towards the lower Great Lakes as we head into Friday... possibility of some mixed precipitation associated with it. Rain is expected along the northern shoreline of Lake Erie. That system will be pushing through the region Friday into Saturday,” said Atchison.

Temperatures over the next several days will be closer to where we should be this time of year, around the 3 C mark and lows of -4 C.
