After reaching 20 degrees for the first time in 2018 — and in over six months — on Tuesday, temperatures fell back to 2 degrees overnight as clouds rolled back in.

A cold front with some scattered showers slid through in the morning, kicking up cool northerly winds gusting upwards of 45 km/h as we warmed into the mid-teens before noon.

Skies cleared during the afternoon with a few cumulus clouds bubbling up along with some isolated showers with a bit of instability as we climbed up a few degrees further into the teens.
