The Scope

Here is your weekly poor man’s ensemble. Suck it up.

Friday night

Shitty weather alert! The center of a low tracks over the city overnight bringing with it drizzle and general non-fun times. At least we’re in the warm sector of the low so it’ll keep the snow away for now. Temperature steady near 7 degrees.

•••

Saturday

The low starts moving into the Atlantic, which means we’ll start feeling cold air come down from the north on the back side of the low. Temperature will drop as the day goes on, with precipitation starting as showers in the morning (6 degrees) and turning to wet flurries by the evening (plus 1.)

•••

Saturday night

A ridge of high pressure will build south of the island behind the low as it leaves. Flurries will taper off, and skies will clear overnight. A cold north wind will be blowin’ so dress warm. Low minus 2.

•••

Sunday

Remember: I’m just the messenger. Fair skies in the morning near the ridge won’t last very long. Increasing cloud with showers developing in the afternoon as a trough of low pressure sweeps over the province. Showers could fall as wet flurries in some parts. High 3.

Sunday night

Sorry folks, the news isn’t much better here either. By now you’re probably numbed to shitty weather, so I don’t mind telling you that showers and wet flurries will continue overnight under the trough. I can’t reiterate it enough: I’m just the messenger. Low 3.
