Prepare to ditch your parka this Family Day long weekend because the mercury's supposed to hover around 10 C on Saturday and Sunday.

Before then, however, you might want to bundle up because we're in for a cold 24 hours. According to an Environment Canada forecast, it's going to be - 11 C tonight.

In the span of a day, it'll then warm up by a whopping 20 degrees. It's supposed to be 9 C on Saturday, offering us a brief reprieve from the winter.

Luckily, there's lots to do this weekend, including the outdoor Winter Stations exhibition in the Beaches.
