Will skies be clear over southern Ontario Sunday night?
Cloudy skies are expected, except for clearing skies
developing after midnight near and east of the Peterborough area, due to
mid-level moisture moving eastward (illustrated below for 1 am EST in the 500
hPa moisture chart) and general diminishing of low-level cloud near the
Peterborough region, well north of Lake Ontario, and south of the downwind
edge of southern Georgian Bay (illustrated below for 1 am EST in the 925 hPa
moisture chart). At the same time, high cloud is likely to be increasing, due
to jetstream-level moisture moving northeastward across southern Ontario (illustrated
below for 1 am EST in the 300 hPa moisture chart) (and the jetstream-level moisture
doesn’t give a hoot about topographical effects like big warm lakes).
