After suffering through a late spring, Mother Nature seems to be getting a head start on summertime.

　　Yesterday's high reached 32.8 degrees Celsius, making it the hottest day of the year. And today's high is expected to hit 33 degrees, despite the fact that summer probably won't be declared until the end of May.

　　The warm sunny weather won't last long, however. Rain is in forecast for the weekend. Showers are expected tomorrow and on Saturday, when daily highs will be around 27 degrees and lows 18 to 20 degrees.

　　A cool air mass from the north is on track to arrive on Sunday, bringing in temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees.
