Despite cloud cover, temps will slowly start to rise Friday

Overnight lows won’t be quite as cold as other nights this week, says CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison.

Overnight lows won’t be quite as cold as other nights this week, but you’ll still need a jacket handy come Friday morning.

“Temperature wise, we’ll hold it around plus 1 in London areas and through central and northern areas of Grey Bruce heading out the door [Friday] morning,” said CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison.

She added overcast conditions are expected, however, high pressure will start to build in.

“The winds through your Friday out of the north, so that’ll leave us under a fairly low deck of cloud cover,” said Atchison. “So, expecting that moisture just to hang on.”

By Friday evening, some of that cloud cover will break, setting the stage for better weather this weekend.

“[We’ll be] starting to see some peaks of sunshine Saturday into Sunday,” said Atchison. “A mix of some cloud, daytime highs from 12 to 13 degrees over the weekend.”
