Weather
It will be partly cloudy across the province Wednesday with a high of 28 C. A heat warning is in effect for Kings, Prince and Queens counties. Click here to view all affected communities.
A word from SaltWire Network chief meteorologist Cindy Day:
“Can’t travel to the tropics? No problem, a very tropical air mass has reached the province. This warm, humid air is about all we can expect from the weekend hurricane that made landfall along the North Carolina coast late Monday evening. What is left of Isaias is being steered west of the province by a well-positioned Bermuda High. As the system transitions to an extra-tropical storm, it will develop a warm and cold front. The cold front is expected to push across the province late Wednesday. Thursday will be much less humid but only slightly cooler. Another little heatwave will set up across the region this weekend and linger into the middle part of next week.”
