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.
Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area:
Today - Partly cloudy. 30% chance of a late-day shower or thunderstorm.
High: 24
Tonight - A few clouds.
9pm: 19
Friday - Mix of sun & cloud. 60% chance of late-day showers or thunderstorms.
Morning Low: 13

Clearing in the evening.

Much like the south, daytime highs across most of the north will reach the mid-20s in most areas on Thursday, including as far north as Churchill. An air quality alert remains in effect Thursday for the Lynn Lake region, related to wildfire smoke concerns. According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), strengthening south winds moving in behind a departing ridge of high pressure could send smoke north and into the town. Back in Winnipeg, football fans can look forward to pleasant conditions for the Bomber game Thursday evening at Princess Auto Stadium. Temperature will be in the low 20s with a clearing sky. South winds will be around 20 km/h. Meanwhile, it could be a very different story for the southwest. ECCC said potentially severe storms could move into the region late Thursday evening from Saskatchewan, with more severe weather expected in parts of the southwest on Friday.

Residents of Denare Beach, Sask., returning home to find much of community destroyed
WATCH: Wildfire evacuation orders have been lifted for residents of Creighton and Denare Beach. What can those returning home expect to see? After a month-long evacuation due to a wildfire, residents of Denare Beach in Saskatchewan began returning home on Wednesday. The community of about 700 residents northeast of Prince Albert was forced to flee their homes on May 8, just two days after the Wolf Fire ignited and ripped through the area. As residents trickled back into town, they were met with a scene of devastation. Hundreds of buildings were destroyed with estimates suggesting that up to 400 buildings in the community may be gone. 'Having a plan, having information, having support systems, being told that everything is being done to help you, would have gone a long way,' said Jennifer Hysert, who lost her home in the fire. The destruction is a harsh reality for residents who are still reeling from the disaster. Jennifer Hysert Denare Beach resident Jennifer Hysert speaks to reporters about losing her home in the wildfires, June 25 (John Flatters/CTV News) Despite the trauma, the community is relieved that no one was hurt or killed in the fire. However, many are frustrated that the community couldn't be saved, despite warnings about the gravity of the fire. 'We were given nothing in terms of funds, support – you name it. There was nothing. And it's really bothersome to me that that's possible with the resources we have. We're not living in 1910,' Hysert added. The Wolf Fire is the province's third-largest active wildfire, burning nearly 162,000 hectares of land. The smoke was still visible in the distance on Wednesday as residents were grappling with the aftermath of the disaster. Repatriation efforts were slow, with some evacuees coming from Manitoba having to wait until Wednesday to drive back. Denare Beach (John Flatters/CTV News) The province is still dealing with multiple wildfires, with 19 active fires burning in northern Saskatchewan as of Thursday. Only two are considered contained while five are out of control, including the Shoe Fire, which burned over 554,000 hectares, and the Pisew Fire, which has burned over 184,000 hectares. Saskatchewan has seen 267 wildfires this year exceeding the five-year average of 169. Over 30 communities were evacuated and according to the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA), as of Thursday, only two communities - Creighton and East Trout Lake- were under an active evacuation order. - With files from Hayatullah Amanat

Manitoba lifting provincial travel, burn bans as recent rains continue to dampen wildfires
Manitoba will lift provincial travel and burn restrictions on Friday as rains continue to help firefighting efforts, although municipalities may continue to impose restrictions. "We have been getting some rain in some key areas," including the city of Flin Flon and the town of The Pas in northwestern Manitoba, according to Kristin Hayward, an assistant deputy minister with the Conservation Officer Service and Manitoba Wildfire Service. "What that's allowed us to do is to make some really good progress on those fires," Hayward said at a news conference Thursday. Provincial travel and burn restrictions are to be lifted at 8 a.m. CT Friday, with the exception of backcountry travel within the boundaries of an active fire, which will need a permit from the province, Hayward said. Municipalities may also choose to continue their own fire bans, Hayward said, and anyone wanting to know if they're affected should check with local officials. There were 18 active wildfires across Manitoba as of Thursday, Hayward said. More than 911,000 hectares in the province have burned so far. There are 13 communities still under a local state of emergency, said Christine Stevens, an assistant deputy minister with Manitoba's Emergency Management Organization. The communities of Tataskweyak Cree Nation, Mathias Colomb Cree Nation and Wallace Lake, along with parts of Nopiming Provincial Park, are still under evacuation orders, Stevens said at Thursday's news conference. "That means that approximately 6,500 Manitobans remain out of their homes at this time," she said. On Monday, Premier Wab Kinew announced the end to the provincewide state of emergency issued May 28, thanks in part to favourable weather conditions, including precipitation, that have slowed down some of the fast-moving wildfires. The wildfires forced thousands to flee rural and northern communities. The northwestern Manitoba wildfires led to mandatory evacuation orders being issued May 26 and 27 for Sherridon and Lynn Lake, respectively. Sherridon residents were able to go home on June 14, while Lynn Lake residents followed on June 20. Roughly 4,800 evacuees from the city of Flin Flon, who were ordered to leave on May 28, began to return home on Wednesday. Stevens said evacuees staying in Ontario have been gradually returning to Manitoba over the last week. The Leila Avenue evacuation centre in Winnipeg has stopped operating as a congregate shelter, but remains open as a reception centre, she said. Congregate shelters in Thompson and Nelson House have also closed. About 70 evacuees are still at a shelter in Sagkeeng First Nation, said Stevens, but there are hotel rooms available for those wishing to move.
