"The warming trend will continue Tuesday with near seasonal temperatures.”
As a cold front blows into the province on Friday, some regions can get around 10 millimetres of rain from the thunderstorms that will be moving through.
However, when these storms will hit is still uncertain.
The new wave of hot weather comes right on the heels of an exciting announcement for Ontarians.
Earlier this month, the provincial government announced that it would be reopening its remaining beaches across the province in areas that are ready to enter stage two of recovery.
So you can spend the sizzling weather near the water this weekend.
