There should be plenty of sunshine in the next few days with highs of 13 C expected on Saturday with temperatures rising to a balmy 24 C on Sunday and Monday.
Overnight temperatures will continue to plunge below zero with -8 C expected overnight Friday and -3 C overnight Saturday, but we should break even at 0 C overnight Sunday and Monday.

As nice as the weekend forecast is, Environment Canada is warning Cochranites to prepare to potentially batten down the hatches as showers and chillier temperatures are expected by end week, which could lead to icy overnight conditions on local roads.
