Your Morrow Park walk might need an umbrella.

You'll need an umbrella for your morning walk

Good morning, Peterborough. Marcus Otonabee-Singh here on the Morning Wire, flowing to you from the Electric City.

Here's the thing about Peterborough, we’re always downstream from something, and right now, that something is weather. There are active weather advisories for Peterborough. The details on what those advisories entail aren't fully clear yet, but the fact that they're active means you should be paying attention to the skies and the forecast as you start your day. It’s a good reminder that the Otonabee River, for all its beauty, is a powerful force, and so is the weather system that feeds it. Keep an eye on the city's official channels and local weather reports for updates.

What this means for us is a potential shift in our daily rhythms. If you're heading out to Morrow Park for the farmers' market or planning a walk by Little Lake, be prepared for whatever mother nature is sending our way. These advisories, even without specific details yet, are a signal to adjust our sails, so to speak. We'll be keeping a close watch on this throughout the morning and bringing you updates as they become available.

This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
