DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)
Autumn has arrived, but it will still feel like summer today with a warm, more humid southwesterly air flow ahead of a cold front. This front will cross the region tonight, producing showers and possibly a thunderstorm, then be offshore by dawn Tuesday, a day which will be cooler and drier, but with some passing cloudiness due to a pocket of colder air aloft. These clouds may release a few sprinkles or light showers but these will be the exception and far from the rule. High pressure pushes in with fair and seasonably mild weather Wednesday, then drifts off to the east with a quick warm-up for Thursday, before a weak cold front comes through with hardly any clouds and no rain threat Thursday night, knocking the temperature back to seasonable levels for Friday with more dry weather.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 2)
A little flatter flow allows a quick warm-up September 28, a front to pass through late-day or night with maybe a shower, then a slight cool down for September 29. The cycle repeats September 30 with a warm-up then a slight cool-down to begin October as high pressure builds over eastern Canada.
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 3-7)
A quick return to ridging then a flatter flow follows with a strong west to east jet stream keeping systems weak and weather mainly dry. Warmest weather relative to normal will likely be early in the period then more seasonable air follows.
