The blind squirrel found a nut!  The Canadian model actually outperformed the other models in calling for rain today.   That being said, the main precip will stay to the south and east of the Ottawa region.

Anybody notice whats happening with Env. Can's forecast for Saturday today?  This morning they had a 40% chance of showers for Saturday.  Moving in the right direction from yesterday.  But now they have:    Saturday:   Periods of rain. High 8.

Look for it to change to little or no rain on Saturday as everybody else is less bullish on pushing rain in our region from the remnents of Ida that is coming up the eash coast.

 The storm that gave us a couple cms of sloppy snow yesterday is going to intensify and slam the Maritimes.

The next week or so looks to be fairly nice and mild (relative to normals)

LONGER term, November looks to be warmer than normal, on average.   We may have to look out in a couple weeks for a storm but there is lots of uncertainty with that.   December, however, will have the Arctic hounds released.   In fact this winter (Dec. thru Feb) is looking colder than normal, along the lines as the winter of 76-77 (for you old timers).

A cold shot for Friday into Saturday but next week is going to be warmer, relative to norms.

PS.  We may see some snow in the air on the tail end of Thursday's little system
