Temperature records Shattered

It was a record breaking weekend for communities across northwestern Ontario weather-wise.

Temperature records tumbled in almost every town and city on Sunday.

In Kenora, the Thermometer peaked at 14.9 degrees, smashing the previous record by three degrees.

The previous high on March 11th was 11.2 set back in 1995.

The hot spot in the region yesterday was in Fort Frances and Atikokan, where  temperatures soared to 16.2.

More records could fall this week, as the forecast calls for temperatures into the double digits once again by the end of the week.
