According to Environment Canada, April 9 will see a 70 per cent chance of showers during the day. Cloud coverage will make its way into Durham Region in the morning, and turn to storms by the afternoon.
The day will also be quite warm with temperatures reaching up to 18 degrees. However, by evening those numbers will fall back to 6 degrees.

Deep River is a small community up north of Ottawa on the Ontario-Quebec border.
