Lots of sunshine expected Friday

Warm days ahead CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison says lots of sunshine is on the way Friday.

After a brief return to winter, sunny skies and warm temperatures are returning to Midwestern Ontario.

“Lots of sunshine on the way for your Friday,” said CTV News London Meteorologist Julie Atchison. “Temperatures are set to climb back above freezing and well above normal [for this time of year].”

Cool conditions will linger early Friday morning with the temperature expected to sit around minus 1 at 8 a.m.

The mercury in your thermostat will climb in the afternoon with a high of 7 expected around 4 p.m.

“High pressure firmly in control over the region, shutting down the lake-effect snow in Midwestern Ontario. The melt will be on [Saturday],” said Atchison.

The region will continue to warm up Saturday, and we could see 15 degrees by Sunday.
