Although parts of the province just had a frost warning this week, Ontario's weather is in for some unseasonably warm temperatures this weekend that are more usual for summer than spring.

"Temperatures will then start their uphill climb by the end of the week, with abundant sunshine splashing through the forecast on Friday," says The Weather Network after the frost warning on Thursday ends.

On Saturday it's expected to be even warmer, but there could be a possibility of rain and thunderstorms, so if you're hoping to enjoy the cherry blossoms that are currently decorating the city, you might want to take an umbrella. Then on Sunday, Ontario might see its warmest day of the year, albeit with a chance of showers.

"Toronto's forecast of 21°C will be up against the 20.6°C day that was recorded back on March 13. Parts of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and regions to the north, however, could see temperatures hold in the upper teens with the cloudy conditions and chances for rain," says TWN.

Further west, Windsor is expected to hit a high of 26 C, with its current rival temperature being 26.1 C on April 14.

"Humidity will be a factor, as well, with some areas including Hamilton and Windsor possibly feeling like 30 by Sunday afternoon," notes the agency.

So while those cities might be flirting with a chance of rain, it sounds like it'll otherwise be a great day to be outside and possibly even hit up the beach!

Although there is historically still a chance of frost for the rest of April and May, the predicted forecast shows temperatures will remain above seasonal for the rest of the month and the beginning of May.
