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.
You'll want to put on some sunscreen if you're lining up today, with a UV index of 9, or very high in the forecast.
Environment Canada is forecasting a high of 28 C on Saturday with almost no clouds through much of the day.

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.
