As you were all previously warned by Monday’s prognosticating, Tuesday will bring with it a 60 per cent chance of showers throughout the afternoon, with winds gusting up to 50 km/h. Overnight that chance of rain will become a chance of flurries which will turn into light snowfall, with winds staying steady at 50 km/h and a wind chill of -8. Although the winds will continue to bluster into Wednesday at 40 km/h, the rest of the week should be dry and sunny.

So hold on to your hats, your umbrellas, and your butts, because it’s going to be a windy and rainy ride today.
