Edmonton weather: Warm and some more scattered thunderstorms

We’re looking at a fairly similar setup across central and north-central Alberta to what we had Wednesday.

That doesn’t mean it’ll play out exactly the same way, though.

Morning sun in the Edmonton area this morning will give way to a few clouds midday and this afternoon with temperatures hitting the 23 to 24 degree mark for a daytime high.

There’s a chance of some hit & miss thunderstorms mid to late afternoon (just like yesterday).

We’re also keeping an eye on some showers off to the southwest this morning. I think those probably fizzle out or stay south of the city as the precip moves east, but there’s a slight chance of a midday shower in or near Edmonton. So, the best chance for a shower or thunderstorm comes late today, but there’s an outside chance of a little shower cell a bit earlier.

Friday - low to mid 20s again. Mix of sun & cloud with (again) a chance of some late-day showers and/or thunderstorms.

There’s a bit of a chance to the pattern Saturday as we start the day with some rain through the morning hours. That precipitation should taper off midday, but we’ll stay breezy and cloudy this the afternoon hours with a high around 18-21 degrees.

Clearing for Sunday/Monday with afternoon highs in the mid 20s and then we’re still expecting a high in the upper 20s for Canada Day Tuesday with a chance of a shower or thunderstorm in the evening.
