Will skies be clear over southern Ontario Friday night?

Skies may become partly clear by mid-to-late evening over regions near Toronto and GHTA as moisture at low and mid-levels decreases during the evening for several hours, until moisture and cloudiness increases again. The charts below show the diminishing moisture at low and mid levels during the evening. Other factors contributing to partly clearing skies include subsiding motion (contributing to sink and dry the clouds), lack of a jetstream overhead, and moderate winds (preventing fog formation overnight). Skies could remain cloudy due to low-level cloud below a thermal inversion (near the 850 hPa level) which might prevent vertical mixing that would allow the low cloud to dissipate.
