With the exception of a few timing issues, last week’s forecast was pretty decent as high pressure dominated the picture, bringing with it the warmest weather of the summer. This forecast period looks to begin with a little break from the hot, muggy weather, though that break may be short lived as it appears likely that the hot weather will be moving back in.
This forecast period begins with our region under a predominantly northwesterly flow. An area of low pressure will be working its way to our southeast on Wednesday and should be out of our region by early Thursday. Behind this low we will see high pressure building in from the northwest, which will bring mainly sunny skies on Thursday and Friday along with seasonal temperatures and lower humidities.

Canadian canola prices hinge on rain forecast
Canola markets took a good hit during the week ending July 11, 2025, on the thought that the Canadian crop will yield well despite dry weather.
Over the weekend this high will be well to our southwest, which will place us in a more westerly flow. A second area of high pressure is then forecasted to slowly move in from the west. Overall, we should see more sun than clouds on the weekend, along with a continuation of seasonable temperatures. Expect daytime highs in the mid- to upper 20s with overnight lows in the low teens. We could see a few scattered showers and weak thundershowers over the first part of the weekend, as the southerly flow on the back side of this southern high pumps a bit more humidity into our region. The western high will then move in by Monday bringing slightly drier air with it.
This second high will slide by and then stall out to our southeast early next week. It looks as though this will set up a fairly long period of warm, dry weather for next week. We’ll slowly see winds switch to the south or southwest during the week which will help to bring in warm air. Combine this with plenty of sunshine and we should expect temperatures to be in the upper 20s to low 30s for much of next week, with little chance for any rain.
Usual temperature range for this period: Highs: 20 to 30 C, Lows: 10 to 16 C
