Tuesday's clear and crisp — grab it while it lasts

Morning. We've dropped back to early fall temps overnight — 8°C and mainly clear, which means you'll want layers if you're heading out. UV's running high at 6.0, so sunscreen still matters even when it's cool. Sun's down by 7:06 PM, so plan your evening around that if you're thinking of a walk or patio time.

On the roads: Highway 25 tunnel's closing Friday night for electrical system work, so if that's part of your regular commute, start thinking about alternatives now. Nothing hitting you today, but worth flagging. Route 116 down in Saint-Bruno's also reversing traffic on weekends through November for culvert and LED upgrades — South Shore folks should clock that if they're heading that way.

Couple of things in the news worth knowing. A local father and daughter are running a 5K this Saturday the 19th to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer — if that's something that matters to you, they're worth supporting. Also, Quebec's health IT project (SIFA) just ballooned from a $96 million estimate to a billion dollars, which is the kind of provincial news that affects all of us eventually.

If you're grabbing lunch or dinner out, Il Teatro just opened in the Quartier des Spectacles if you're craving proper Roman pasta and wine. Fair warning though: there's been a recall on Mini Danoise pastries for undeclared allergens (milk, eggs, soya), and raw breaded chicken and fish at five Viande à bas prix locations are being pulled for missing cooking instructions — so check what you've got at home and be careful if you're shopping today.

Tonight's got real energy if you're into live music. You've got Alabama Shakes at MTELUS, Aldous Harding at Le National, Channel Tres at Beanfield Theatre, and L'RAIN at La Sala Rossa — all kicking off around 8:00 PM. Pick your vibe. It's clear enough to walk to most of these spots, and the cool air's honestly perfect for moving around the city.

Tuesday's one of those days where the weather cooperates and there's stuff to do. Get outside if you can, catch some live sound tonight, and stay sharp on the road news for the weekend ahead.

Stay warm out there.
