Residents in Cornwall can look forward to a stretch of clear and sunny weather this week, providing a break from the stormy conditions that moved through the region earlier in April. According to Environment Canada, there are no weather alerts in effect as the community settles into a more stable pattern.
Sunny skies are expected to dominate through Saturday, April 25, with daytime highs ranging between 12°C and 14°C.
