After scrolling my feed today, I've decided to take a break for a bit. I'll check back in a few weeks to reassess because I know I'll miss you folks. Weather/climate posts: facebook.com/JayScotlandWeat… Random posts (#PEI adventures, family fun, #BJJ, etc): instagram.com/jayscotlandwea…

Hey folks! Long time no tweet! I think I'll continue my Twitter break for now. If you'd like to find my #PEI weather updates and climate-related posts elsewhere, you can now find me here: threads.net/@jayscotlandweat…

Showers begin overnight into Tuesday morning, with periods of rain tapering off into the early afternoon. Morning fog patches are also possible and a southeasterly wind will be quite gusty. Afternoon temperatures top out in the 7-13°C range (big range because of cool water).

If you have any work outdoors to get caught up on, this is the weekend to do it. Enjoy!

Ha! "Simpsons clouds" might be my new favourite cloud type!

Friday is shaping up to be quite sunny but it will feel a lot cooler than today. Temperatures will top out in the 5-8°C range (for most areas) with a cool and brisk 20-40 km/h north-northwesterly wind (gusts may top 50 km/h for exposed areas).

Yes, today was a bit warmer than I said it would be. No, I have not received any complaints about that minor error. 😉

I'll just leave this here. Enjoy your Thursday P.E.I. 🙂

Honestly, getting to work here and call #PEI home already makes us winners! A big thank you to @TheCdnAcademy for the nomination (it is a huge honour) and congrats to the @GlobalBC team! Oh, and @TravisKingdon, that suit is on point (@LouiseMartinCBC always sets the bar so high).

🚨PROUD DAD ALERT🚨 The #PEIScienceFair is on today at @EastlinkCtrPEI and our budding biologist Abby is ready to prove that crickets really can tell us the temperature. Best of luck to all of today's participants! 🦗🌡️👍

Clouds increase ahead of some rain later tonight. Mostly cloudy with showers possible Wednesday morning. Cloudy with showers also possible in the afternoon AND I can't rule out some wet snow mixing in by late afternoon or early evening (particularly for northeastern areas).

More please.

Katelyn and Meghan will be stopping by our @CBCPEI studios tonight to talk about their big school tour (which kicks off tomorrow btw). See you on Compass!
