Here's when it'll start to rain in Ottawa this Saturday
Though the temperatures are warm this Saturday, it’s going to be a rainy day in the capital.
Environment Canada’s forecast calls for a high of 23 C and a 30 per cent chance of showers or drizzle late this afternoon. It’s going to be partly cloudy with a low of 13 C at night.
The temperatures will drop on Sunday to reach a high of 15 C. Showers with a risk of thunderstorms are in the forecast for the day. At night, we’ll have a 60 per cent chance of showers and a low of 10 C.
A sunny day is in the forecast to start the week. A high of 23 C and a low of 7 C are forecasted for Monday.
The weather agency is expecting higher than average temperatures this month.

"Guidance for precipitation suggests only weak and variable anomalies."
