[URBAN NOTE] "There is an end in sight to Toronto's heat wave"

[rfmcdonald]

The Toronto Star reports on the impending end of this week's heat wave. All I can say is that I've been glad to be able to take advantage of air conditioning.

Torontonians may be in for some relief from the heat as a cold front heads our way Friday evening.

According to Environment Canada, there is a 40 per cent chance of showers and thunderstorms tonight, increasing to 60 per cent early Friday evening. However, the heat warning is expected to persist throughout the day as temperatures soar to a high of 34 C, feeling closer to 43 C with the humidex.

Thankfully, a cold front is expected to push in Friday night that could end the heat wave and usher a cooler air mass into the weekend.

Temperatures should coast closer to the normal seasonal average, with a high of 29 C on Saturday and 28 C on Sunday.
