"We're going to pushing the record country Monday, Tuesday and probably Wednesday as well that's as we get get this warm air. It's just ahead of a cold front. So I'll be keeping an eye on this over the next couple of days and we'll see what shakes out."
Laidlaw says Atikokan broke it's 2009 record of 12.8C yesterday with a high of 14.2C.
And the Fort and the Falls narrowly missed breaking the old record of 16.5 set in 1999 with 16C.
