‘Temperatures set to soar’ Thursday afternoon

Some cloud cover is expected across the region, but Thursday morning is looking mainly sunny, says CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison.

Some cloud cover is expected across the region, but Thursday morning is looking mainly sunny in midwestern Ontario.

“We’ve had a warm front to move in, so temperatures are set to soar this afternoon,” said CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison. “As we head through the day, expect mainly sunny conditions, daytime highs anywhere from 23 to 26 degrees.”

However, if you’re soaking up the rays by the lake, it might feel up to 10 degrees cooler.

Atchison said showers might be on tap for Friday and a dip in temperatures is coming Saturday, but warming up with lots more sunshine on Sunday to round out the weekend.
