Umbrellas, everyone! This spring forecast looks pretty familiar... we can expect around 40 millimetres of rain, with the possibility of thunderstorms, over the next two days.

Monday will be cloudy with a 40 per cent chance of showers, as well as an east wind of 20 kilometres per hour in the morning. Showers are definitely expected by noon with a risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Between five and 10 millimetres of rain should fall on the capital by the end of daylight Monday after the high reaches 17 C.

Monday night should be even rainier with another risk of thunderstorms and 10 to 15 mm of rain overnight. The east wind should lighten up during the evening as the low drops to 11 C.

Tuesday will not let up with periods of rain that could amount to 10 to 15 mm or more, along with an east wind gusting from 30 to 50 km/h. The high is just 13 C as the rain cools Ottawa down.

It should feel like June on Wednesday. The forecast is a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 21 C.

The temperature should remain in the 20s straight through the weekend.
