After several days of autumnal weather, temperatures will rebound on Friday, with abundant sunshine and a gusty southwest wind. Most of southern Ontario will reach 20°C and many places will climb into the lower 20s, which is near seasonal for mid-September.
Sunshine will fade behind increasing clouds late in the day, and a period of showers is expected during the evening and into Friday night, especially to the north of Toronto, including cottage country.
Saturday will be mostly sunny and a few degrees cooler, but still above seasonal for mid-October.

Sunday will bring a mix of sun and cloudy periods with a period of showers, but much of the day should be dry. Temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than Saturday.
Monday will be blustery and colder with temperatures more typical of late October and early November. Clouds will mix with sunny periods, but scattered showers are also expected, especially southeast of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay due to lake effect showers.
Chilly temperatures will continue through the middle of next week with high temperatures struggling to reach double digits for a couple of days and many places will see frost and freeze conditions, primarily outside of urban areas.
