Thursday starts a run of great weather

You can expect a few days of excellent weather to start August.

On Thursday, Environment Canada forecasts sunny skies and a high near 28 C.

That heat isn't coming with the same humidity we have been seeing, so it should be much more tolerable.

Nights are starting to getcooler, with tonight's low down to 10 C.

Ottawa's only seen temperatures in the single digits once in the last month and a half.

The forecast looks more or less the same right through until Monday.

There is a 40 per cent chance of showers on Saturday (but not in the Kingston area)and overnight lows will return to the normal of about 16 C for early August.
