Edmonton’s streak of double-digit daytime highs continues with a high around around 11 C Monday afternoon. That would put us at seven days with highs 10+ C, just two days short of November 2016’s nine days. November 2016 holds the record for the most double-digit days in November in the 2000s. We should surpass that by the end of the weekend. Tuesday looks to be a few days cooler, with a high around 9 C. THEN... a strong upper ridge builds in and helps boost temperatures into the mid teens for Wednesday/Thursday. That’ll put us close to record-setting territory in Edmonton. The record high for Nov. 11 is 16.7 C (1900) and the record for Nov. 12 is 18.3 C (1905). I don’t think we’ll beat those records, but we’ll be close. Temperatures (for now) are still set to trend cooler for next week. Daytime highs will likely drop back to the 1 C to 6 C range for Nov. 16-20. However, there’s no big cold snap projected before Nov. 23/24. AND... there’s only a slight risk of flurries between the 18th and 23rd, but not much indication of a major snowfall. Bottom line: The warm spell sticks around for another week and we may get to the final week of November without any significant snow on the ground.
