Last night was a rough one for anyone watching the playoffs, but we won’t let that loss dampen our faith, just like we won’t let a bit of wind and cloud ruin our day!

That’s what we’re getting in Thursday’s forecast, a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 17 C with winds climbing to 40 km/h. Those clouds and winds will disperse overnight. Friday, on the other hand, will be very hospitable, with a high of 11 C and no major winds or cloud cover to speak of.

Sounds like the start of a potentially perfect weekend to me!
