Saturday brings with it the dreaded f-word. That’s right, EC is forecasting a 60% chance of rain showers or flurries, with a high of 7ºC.

If we do get flurries, don’t worry, it will likely melt on Sunday. A high of 8ºC and a mix of sun and cloud will probably do away with any of the white stuff we may see on Saturday.
