Ottawa’s getting a quick taste of winter—emphasis on quick. Environment Canada says Wednesday starts wet with 5–10 mm of rain and a high near 6°C. As temps slide to 0°C tonight, that rain could flip to flurries, but it’s a light, hit-or-miss chance (about 30%).

What’s next:

  • Thursday: Cloudy with a 70% chance of rain or snow, high around 6°C.
  • Friday: Same vibe—cool, grey, and unsettled.
  • Saturday: Cooler still, high near 3°C.
  • Seasonal norm: About 7°C for the high and 0°C for the low.

What it means for you:

  • Commute: Wet roads could get slick late tonight and early Thursday.
  • Gear: Keep the rain jacket handy today; toss in hat and gloves if you’re out late.
  • Expectations: Don’t bank on a snow globe scene—just a few flakes to say winter’s knocking.
