Winter may have come and gone, but it left behind some aggressive-looking clouds to try and hold on to its territory.

That’s why you may be feeling the 15 km/h winds on your back throughout the day, as Thursday is a mix of sun and cloud and wind with a high of 12 C but a wind chill of -7. Those winds will intensify overnight to 20 km/h and a low of -2 C. The clouds will start to run out of steam by Friday, though, with the winds dying down for a high of 10 C throughout the day.

By Saturday the clouds will be gone all together, giving us a warm weekend of clear skies to melt away the last little patches of muddy snow.
