Sunny skies ahead, but still cool in Nova Scotia this week

The good news is that today is the beginning of the end of the soggy weather. The bad news is that the showery weather isn't completely gone yet.

The damp weather will be around for a couple of more days in the eastern half of the province, but the big payoff is set to arrive just in time for the last weekend of spring.

The centre of that low pressure system — the same one responsible for our recent bout of grey showery weather — is slowly moving out.  As it moves out, clear skies will move in.

Tonight

That means we can look forward to less precipitation and more sunshine in the days ahead.

The effects of that clearing trend will be felt as early this evening in the western half of the province, where there is just a chance of showers or drizzle.

As the centre of that low pressure weather system moves over Cape Breton tonight, residents will also see fog patches developing along the coast.

Tomorrow

By tomorrow, conditions will start to clear on the western half of the mainland.

That showery weather system will still be dragging its heels through the eastern portion of the province though, so there's a good chance that the showers and drizzle will continue into part of Thursday as well.

Until Friday, temperatures will remain cool because we'll still be on the cold side of an approaching ridge of high pressure and inside a northerly flow of wind.
