Forecasters say Saturday will begin with sun and cloud in Toronto, but conditions will deteriorate later in the day as a system moves in from the U.S. Midwest.

Toronto anticipates a mixed weekend forecast, with the potential for heavy rain and thunderstorms on Saturday before a cooler, fresher pattern arrives early next week. According to CityNews weather specialist Denise Andreacchi, the morning will begin with a dynamic setup, featuring sun and cloud, leading to a high of 26°C. Residents can expect a low of 15°C at night, with clear and calm conditions.

On Friday, the weather remains quiet and pleasant, with sunny skies, a high of 25°C, and a low of 17°C.
