Don’t put away your winter coat just yet — or your umbrella. Mother Nature is keeping us on our toes this week with a little bit of everything.

Today starts with a few flurries before switching things up with scattered rain showers this afternoon. The high will go up to plus 5°C.

Tonight stays mainly cloudy, overnight lows will dip to 0°C. 

Looking ahead to Thursday, the clouds clear in the morning, finally letting the sun stretch its rays. The high climbs to 9°C.  

Friday brings a taste of real spring with increasing cloudiness and a high of 13°C.  Rain moves in overnight and sticks around through Saturday, keeping temperatures at a 10°C by day and a chilly zero by night.
