Less Humid in Ontario

Heavy rain yesterday in Kemptville
A cold front swept through eastern Ontario yesterday clearing out a week's worth of humidity and dropping over 25mm of rain in the process. Most of that fell during the evening hours as weakening thunderstorms moved through the region. We can expect a one day respite from the heat before it returns on Friday and the weekend.

An update on Hurricane Bertha: the storm is about 545 miles southeast of Bermuda and heading northwest. She weakened slightly yesterday before increasing again to a category 2 with winds of 105mph. The forecast is calling for the storm to miss Bermuda, but provide some wind and very rough seas in the area. After the weekend the forecast becomes a little unclear, and she will have to be watched for any affects on the northeast US or the Maratimes.
