Ontario: Quick dip to early fall-like temps before rapid rise in heat

Wednesday, August 14th 2019, 8:30 pm - Your chance to shut off the air conditioning will be brief in southern Ontario this week.

Ontario gets a break from the humidity for the rest of the work-week, though the drier spell comes with a dip in the temperatures that will make things feel a little more like early September for many. Never fear, though; mid-summer heat (and humidity) are on their way back for the weekend. What's not clear is how long it'll be before that heat is interrupted again. We take a look at how cool it feels, and the odd features complicating the long-range forecast, below.

Monday, August 19th 2019, 8:30 am - No sort of consistency for temperatures in southern Ontario as we finish off the last weeks of August.

After a stormy weekend that featured heavy rain and large hail and even tornado warnings in parts of southern Ontario, the week will start on a calmer note, with only a slight risk for lingering thunderstorms in the southwestern regions on Monday. The fluctuating temperature trend will continue as a late-week taste of fall makes its way to the region before another potential rebound of above seasonal warmth to round out the month. Details on Monday's storm risk, and the temperature roller coaster, below.

Largest single-day tornado outbreak in Ontario, ten years later
Caroline Floyd
Meteorologist

Tuesday, August 20th 2019, 3:30 pm - August 20, 2019 marks the tenth anniversary of the largest single-day tornado outbreak in Ontario's history.

More than 10 million Canadians were under tornado watches or warnings on the afternoon and evening of August 20, 2009, as storms dropped a staggering 19 tornadoes on the province. By way of comparison, the province averages about 12 per year.

Four of the tornadoes produced F2-category damage including two that tore through the GTA, hitting Woodbridge and Maple and damaging hundreds of homes. F2 tornado winds are estimated to be between 181 and 253 km/h. (Canada didn't adopt the updated EF-scale until 2013.) An impressive eleven tornadoes were rated F1, the final four F0.

A look at today’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.

Thursday morning temperatures at the Edmonton Blatchford station measured 14.8 C with 10 km/h winds out of the north.

Is it too much to ask? This thing we call summer is but a fleeting moment in our otherwise snow-filled existence. Just three days of nice weather, no? How about a weekend, maybe? Nahhhh I prefer the rain and the clouds and the wind anyway.

I mean, I guess it might be sunny this weekend but with highs just barely scraping 20 C. Maybe September will be Summer?

Peak Hurricane Season In Canada Is Here & The First Potential Storm Is Heading Our Way
Hurricane season is expected to last until early October.

With hurricane season already well underway, weather experts are keeping their eye on a tropical storm that may hit parts of Canada later this week. Currently, a subtropical depression is forming offshore over South Florida. While it is still unclear if this storm will reach cyclone status, it has experts keeping an eye on parts of Canada during hurricane season.

The Weather Network has announced that a low-pressure storm is currently brewing near South Flordia. While it is currently just thunderstorms, weather experts worry that a subtropical depression, and maybe even a cyclone may form in the upcoming week.

Currently, the system is expected to make its way up to Atlantic Canada, bringing heavy thunderstorms along with it. While weather Network meteorologist Dr. Doug Gillham states that it's hard to track the progress of the storm, "it is worth keeping an eye on this storm as it's possible that it will track far enough north to have an impact on Atlantic Canada."

If this storm was to progress into the country, residents in areas such as Halifax and Cape Breton are likely to feel the storm the most.

With warmer than average temperatures off the shore of the US, it is predicted that the storm development could worsen over the weekend.

No Change in the Weather opens cross-Canada tour in Hamilton
A jukebox musical with a heart and soul celebrates the stories of Newfoundland

Get ready for a jukebox musical with a difference.

We've all seen those shows that are simply song-by-song accounts of some star or group of stars and their big hits.

Usually, there's a pretty lame story that fabricates the facts and whitens the darker moments of truth for feel-good entertainment. They aren't really musicals. They're tribute concerts with a bit of fake bio tossed in.

Well, expect something more with "No Change in the Weather," an audacious Newfoundland musical coming to The Zoetic Theatre Aug. 28 through 31.

This one has a heart. It also has passionate links to the culture, and the musical heartbeat, of a tough brand of people.

"No Change in the Weather" began in St. John's, Nfld., and is now working its way across Canada.

From a concept by Walter Schroeder, the show takes authentic Newfoundland tunes and melds them with a poetic script by Schroeder and Bernardine Stapleton.

Set in the fictional town of God's Back Pocket, it's a story about resilience and hope that sheds a light on Newfoundland's story. It's about revisiting the past, settling old scores and finding a way home again.

The music comes from the province's finest songwriters. Some of them will be familiar. Some will touch your heart for the very first time.

"I think what makes Newfoundland so special is its music," says Olivia Heaney, one of the show's ensemble of talented performers. "These are songs you can clap your hands to. They're songs that tell Newfoundland's story. I know. I was born in the province. I feel the humour and the heartbeat here. When I'm standing onstage watching cast members sing, I start to cry. I'm just so involved in the show and its story."
