Get ready for a wild ride through the weather this spring — we’re in for a true mix of sunshine, rain, and even a touch of snow as we head into the weekend and beyond.

Friday starts off bright and cheerful, with sunshine dominating the morning and temperatures climbing to a pleasant 12°C by the afternoon. But don’t pack away the umbrella just yet — the clear skies won’t last.

“We’re expecting more cloud cover later in the day as a low-pressure system tracks through the Ohio Valley,” said CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison. “That system will start pushing moisture into our region late Friday into Friday night.”

Although Friday should remain dry, conditions take a turn overnight.

“The weekend forecast looks unsettled,” Atchison warned. “We’re expecting periods of rain throughout Saturday. As temperatures drop to near freezing Saturday night, snow could mix in by Sunday.”

Despite the chillier outlook, there’s good news: temperatures are expected to rebound by midweek, bringing a return to more seasonable spring conditions.

Here’s a detailed look at the upcoming forecast:

• Friday: Sunny with increasing cloud cover late in the day. High of 12°C. UV index 6 (high).

• Friday Night: Cloudy skies with rain beginning near midnight. Risk of overnight thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts of 10 to 15 mm. Winds picking up to 20 km/h, gusting to 40. Low of 5°C.

• Saturday: Periods of rain throughout the day. High of 14°C.

• Sunday: Overcast and cooler. High around 5°C.

• Monday: Cloudy with a 40% chance of rain or flurries. High of 2°C.

• Tuesday: Mix of sun and clouds with a 40% chance of flurries. High of 1°C.

• Wednesday: Partly sunny skies. High climbing back to 8°C.

So whether you’re reaching for a raincoat, sunglasses, or winter boots — this spring forecast has it all. Stay prepared!
