>>> In a gorgeous day outside today and not as sticky as it was the last couple of days. First look at the forecast. How is it looking? >> Vikta: another beautiful day in toronto today in the high-pressure system is a big contributing factor as to why there's not much of the sun and that's going to translate it tonight if you do look at the sky you will see the stars and I'm a big fan of stargazing and gives us a chance to get a nice peek at all the stars above. Amount tomorrow will be another day where we have a high uv index and you want to make sure you're putting on the sunscreen in the hat and you'll be hydrated as well with the hot temperatures very easy to forget and very easy the damage that can duty you. When it comes to the weekend as well we come with precipitation but that precipitation on saturday close to 12, 3:00. Not going to last too long. Average temperature 21-point date is the average high and 10.7 is the average low and I'm talking with the high-pressure system that you can see right now what your friday will look like. No cloud cover or precipitation and a beautiful way to get in toward the weekend. When it comes to saturday around 6:00 in the morning high-pressure system with a beautiful day but if you look over here over by colorado and around the midwest of the U.S. this is a system working its way coming toward us over here and by the time it saturday. You can see it's over manitoba so it's a pretty big system but by the time he gets toward the greater toronto area from midday on saturday it's going to come pretty small and not be as big as you do see here around 3:00 it should be all set and done toward 6:00 and a nice cool night with cooler temperatures after the rain passed is by. Now quick look at what we are expecting for the overnight temperatures should be the midteens and if you're a big fan of 6:00 am teatime and want to get out early and beat the heat it'll be around 14 degrees in toronto, 17 in ottawa if you want to hit those teas. And at a thing looking for to the 3 and 5 day forecast 26 will be the high for friday as you do see it's going to get hot really quickly and the low is 13. Expecting rain on saturday and monday and tuesday bringing precipitation as well but a beautiful sunny friday and over to you. >> Kelda: thank you so much.
