Wednesday was rather gloomy, wasn’t it? Thursday’s mix of sun and cloud will be interrupted in the afternoon for a few showers, but otherwise things are shaping up nicely for the end of the week.

Expect a high of 16 C during the day, with a UV index of 5, or moderate. At night, a low of 7 C.

Meanwhile in the U.S.

Forecasters warned a wave of dangerous storms in the U.S. could march through parts of the South early Thursday, after storms a day earlier spawned damaging tornadoes and massive hail, leaving two dead in Tennessee and one dead in North Carolina.

The storms continue an outbreak of torrential rain and tornadoes that has cut across the country this week, from the Plains to the Midwest and now the southeastern U.S. At least four people have died in storms since Monday.

The National Weather Service said tornadoes touched down in parts of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana on Tuesday.

Tornadoes were also confirmed in Pennsylvania just outside Pittsburgh, in central Arkansas and in northern West Virginia. The West Virginia twister was at least the 11th tornado this year in the state, which sees two tornadoes in an average year.
