It's going to feel like 30 in Ontario this weekend but it's not all good news

It's shaping up to be a weekend full of warm weather in Ontario and it's going to be positively summer-like in some areas.

Unfortunately, it's not all good news as there's a chance for thunderstorms that might ruin your outdoor plans.

"Friday morning’s chill will be a distant memory by the weekend," says The Weather Network, noting that temperatures will reach seasonal values by Saturday. "This, however, will also allow southerly winds to spill warm and humid air across the border into southern Ontario."

Thunder is a possibility across the southwestern parts of the provinces as the day heats up on Saturday.

"Sunday could be the warmest day of the year for much of southern Ontario as this May-like pattern arrives to end the weekend, although scattered showers and a thunderstorm risk could put a brief damper on the afternoon," the weather agency explains.

For Windsor and Hamilton, the temperatures could feel as high as 30 C on Sunday, and the unseasonable warmth is going to stick around for the first half of next week.

"Afternoon temperatures will once again crack the 20-degree mark for much of southern Ontario, with slightly cooler readings possible around the Golden Horseshoe as the lake cools things off a bit," TWN says of the beginning of the work week.

Hopefully this week is the last of the frost for the season!
