Montrealers can expect their fair share of sunshine this weekend.

Partly cloudy skies and a nighttime low of 6 degrees Celsius on Friday are set to lead to a mainly sunny Saturday.

Saturday afternoon is forecast to bring a perfectly seasonal daytime high with the mercury moving to 18 degrees Celsius.

Warmer weather should continue into Saturday evening, with an above-seasonal 11 degrees Celsius as the projected low.

Showers could come on Sunday.

There is a 40 per cent chance that roughly one millimetre of rain could hit the Greater Montreal area.

Mainly sunny skies are expected to return on Sunday afternoon, with temperatures rising to a high of 17 degrees Celsius.

A low of 6 degrees Celsius awaits on Sunday night.

Mainly sunny skies are then forecast to start the week.
