We’ll get one more day in the mid 20s today and then it’s back to the cooler, cloudier and occasionally showery conditions we’ve had for much of the month.

The upper ridge responsible for the sunshine and the warmth is collapsing and we’ll see a broad upper trough develop for much of this week.

Much like last week, it’s not going to be four or five days of non-stop rain. But, each day will have a chance of some showers.

Nailing down the exact timing is going to be tough, but here’s roughly how it looks like it’ll play out:

• Today: Best chance for a shower is late this afternoon and/or early this evening.
• Tuesday: Showers possible both in the morning and again late in the day...best chance late in the day.
• Wednesday: Slight chance of a spotty shower... timing uncertain. We probably stay dry most/all day.
• Thursday: Good chance of showers or periods of steadier rain throughout the day.
• Friday: Sunshine returns (briefly).
• Saturday: Dry, but cloud for most of the day...slight shower chance late in the day.
• Sunday: Good chance of showers or periods of rain, especially early in the day.

Obviously, there’s less confidence in that timeline further out. But, that’s roughly how it’s shaping up.

Temperatures will settle back into the mid to high teens for daytime highs Tuesday-Thursday.

We’ll get to 20 C or the lows 20s on Friday in Edmonton and then right back to the mid to high teens for the weekend.
