Discussion              

High pressure builds across southeastern Canada over the next couple of days and an upper-level trough drifts southeast from the Great Lakes. The combination of these two systems will keep it on the cool side here during the remainder of the week with the continuation of onshore (NE) winds. A bit of sunshine is possible on Wednesday (and that is rather optimistic) as the high pressure edges into the region, but the upper-level trough can make it unsettled again later in the week before potential clearing for the weekend.
