On Saturday, thermometers flirted with mid to upper 30s but will be climbing the charts to the low to mid-70s come afternoon. “High pressure from southern Ontario and Quebec will build southward over the Great Lakes region tonight into Sunday,” according to the forecast, promising a sunny Sunday with a slight temperature gradient near the lakeshore.
