"Risk of a thunderstorm this evening."
Monday will bring a noticeable change: while the morning is expected to remain cloudy, conditions should become a mix of sun and cloud in the afternoon. A strong northwest breeze is forecast, with sustained winds near 20 km/h and gusts up to 40 km/h in the morning. The daytime high is forecast at 25 °C, with humidex values around 31, elevating the perceived temperature for those outdoors.
Clearing overnight, then warmer midweek
Monday night is expected to clear, becoming partly cloudy with fog patches developing after midnight and a low of 13 °C. The wind is forecast to ease to light conditions later in the evening.
Looking ahead, Tuesday is forecast to be warmer and sunnier with a high of 27 °C. The respite may be short-lived: Tuesday night carries a 60 percent chance of showers, and Wednesday is forecast to be a mix of sun and cloud with another 60 percent chance of showers and a high near 24 °C. Nights later in the week cool to the low teens or below, with Thursday and Friday forecast highs of 25 °C and 24 °C respectively, and mostly clear nights.

What Aurora residents should consider
While the forecast does not call for severe warnings, the combination of humidity, gusty winds and a thunderstorm risk this evening warrants simple precautions for residents and visitors in Aurora:
- Secure lightweight outdoor furniture and decorations before Monday morning gusts;
- Be prepared for sudden downpours or brief thunderstorms tonight — keep a small umbrella or rain jacket handy;
- Drivers should exercise caution on wet roads and watch for localized pooling after heavy showers;
- Those with outdoor plans Monday morning may want to shift activities to the afternoon when conditions are expected to improve.
Through the middle of the week, the forecast suggests a return to more settled conditions with warmer daytime temperatures on Tuesday and generally clearer nights by Thursday. Residents should keep an eye on short-term updates in case the timing or intensity of showers and gusts changes.
Local parks, trails and businesses that rely on fair weather should account for possible interruptions tonight and into Tuesday night. The fog potential early Tuesday morning into Monday night may also reduce visibility for commuters, particularly those travelling on regional roads into and out of Aurora.
We will continue to monitor forecast updates and any advisories that could affect the town and surrounding York Region communities.
