Overcast for Wednesday with some showers. Looking like a mix of sun and cloud Thursday with some convective showers, possible. Friday is a ways off but looking at some models there may be quiet a bit of convective activity with potential for some rain. Weak ridging in some models for Thursday and Friday, but could see some cloud development. Going with a mixed bag on Canada Day. Dirty ridging for Saturday?? Low looks to send more moist weather our way Sunday. Certainly back into an unsettled pattern.
