Ottawa weather: Sunny Saturday as reopening begins
It will be a sunny and hot Saturday in Ottawa as people seek out patios or line-up to get back into long-shuttered stores.

By the evening and overnight, expect a partly cloudy sky with a low of 13 C.
Sunday is looking a bit cloudier. A high of 27 C is in the forecast and there's a low chance of some scattered showers on Sunday.
