The barometric pressure is at 102.3 kPa but on the decline, hinting at shifting systems ahead. Humidity is sitting high at 96%, making the cold feel a little extra clingy this morning. Visibility is good at 19 km, so you’ll be able to see the sunshine once it breaks through later today.

Tonight will be partly cloudy early, but clearing skies are expected by evening. Winds remain light, but temperatures will tumble to -7°C with an overnight wind chill making it feel closer to -12°C. It’ll be a cold one—best to park your car somewhere the windshield won’t turn into a skating rink.
