The rain warning that had been in effect for Ottawa has now ended, leaving behind cloudy conditions for Thursday. According to Environment Canada, residents can expect mostly cloudy skies throughout the day, with temperatures hovering around seasonal norms. The recent rainfall brought much-needed moisture to the region, but also caused some localized flooding in low-lying areas.
Thursday's Forecast
Thursday will see a mix of clouds and occasional sunny breaks, with a high near 12°C. Winds will be light, coming from the northwest at 10 to 15 km/h. The overnight period may bring a risk of frost as temperatures drop to around 2°C, so gardeners are advised to protect sensitive plants.
Looking Ahead
The unsettled weather pattern is expected to continue into the weekend, with a chance of showers on Friday and Saturday. Sunday may see clearer skies and slightly warmer temperatures. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on the latest forecasts as conditions can change rapidly in the spring.
For those planning outdoor activities, Thursday offers a good opportunity to enjoy the outdoors before the next system arrives. The Rideau Canal pathways remain popular for walking and cycling, though some sections may still be wet from the recent rain.
