Edmonton weather: Thunderstorm risk late today, rainy Thursday
Edmonton will see a mix of weather on Wednesday, according to CTV Edmonton's Cory Edel's forecast. A sunny and warm start across the Edmonton area and most of central and north-central Alberta. We were expecting some clouds and a few scattered showers through the region this morning, but that hasn't developed at all. However, that doesn't change much about the outlook for this afternoon and evening. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along the foothills and in northwestern Alberta through the afternoon hours. There's the potential for SOME of these storms to turn severe with large hail being the main threat. The main risk zone for severe storms will be in southern Alberta, with the potential for some supercell thunderstorms and a slight risk of a tornado. Environment and Climate Change Canada meteorologists are also eyeballing northwestern Alberta for the potential for some funnel clouds this afternoon (very low chance, but a non-zero possibility of a landspout tornado). be another day to keep an eye and ear on the severe weather advisories across parts of Alberta. The severe storms Tuesday night all stayed well to the south and southwest of Edmonton, but we'll see how today plays out. An area of low pressure will form in southern Alberta later today and then slowly drift eastward. Along the trough of low pressure stretch back to the northwest of that expecting some steadier rain around Edmonton and northwest toward Whitecourt plus areas east toward Lloydminster. If the system sets up as expected, we're in for a morning of steady (heavy, at times) rain in and around Edmonton. The rain should taper off in the afternoon with some clearing late in the day Thursday. Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area: Today - Partly cloudy. 60% chance of a late-day shower or thunderstorm. High: 22 Tonight - 60% chance of a shower or thunderstorm early evening. A few clouds overnight. 9pm: 16 Thursday - Morning rain (possibly heavy), tapering off in the afternoon with some late-day clearing. Morning Low: 11 Afternoon High: 17 Friday - Partly cloudy. Slight risk of a late-day shower. Morning Low: 9 Afternoon High: 20 Saturday - Mix of sun & cloud. Morning Low: 12 Afternoon High: 17 Sunday - Partly cloudy.

More thunderstorms possible Wednesday with heavy rain starting Friday
As expected, showers and thunderstorms rolled through southern Alberta Tuesday afternoon prompting severe thunderstorm warnings across the region. A similar situation is possible on Wednesday, with thunderstorms initiating off of the foothills before tracking slightly north and mostly east. There is also a risk of thunderstorm development across northern Alberta and in the southeast portion of the province on Wednesday. Today's forecast includes enough available energy and wind shear within the atmospheric profile that there is a chance of supercell development. The greatest threats from these storms include large-sized hail and strong wind, however funnel clouds and/or tornadoes can not be ruled out. The other big weather story is an increasing likelihood of a prolific amount of rain expected to impact southern Alberta starting Friday. More thunderstorms possible Wednesday with heavy rain starting Friday An intense low pressure system from the Pacific basin is on track to stall out over the southern B.C. border by Friday, held in place by an even stronger low complex in northern Canada. This will allow persistent moisture to funnel in to southern Alberta, circulating counterclockwise around the Pacific low and creating an upsloping scenario whereby the Rocky Mountains serve as a topographical barrier and enhance precipitation accumulations east of the foothills. At the high end of forecast rainfall totals Calgary may see up to 90 to 100 millimetres over a few days, with more conservative estimates closer to 70 millimetres. June is typically the wettest month of the year in Calgary, with a 30-year average of 112.7 millimetres of precipitation over the month, or one-quarter of the annual precipitation for the city. This week's rainfall event will also coincide with the 12-year anniversary of the 2013 floods. More thunderstorms possible Wednesday with heavy rain starting Friday Temperatures will also drop over the weekend when colder air from the west edge of the northern low flows toward Alberta's southern border producing windy conditions. Daytime highs in Calgary over the weekend will likely be around 10 degrees below seasonal.

Jet skier nabbed for speeding on Nottawasaga River
The warmer weather has people enjoying the lakes and their personal water crafts, but provincial police say boating responsibly is still a must. Huronia West OPP marine officers were out patrolling the waters on the Nottawasaga River and said they clocked a jet ski zooming along well past the 50 kilometre per hour speed limit. "The driver learned a very valuable lesson on the importance of safe boating," OPP stated in a social media post issued Wednesday. "Abiding by safe boating rules keeps everyone safe, prevents accidents, and protects our waters." Police say speed limits need to be followed to avoid creating dangerous wakes. Much like on the roads, travelling on the water at high speeds also reduces reaction time and can harm wildlife, police add. "Ignoring limits risks fines, collisions, and serious injury," provincial police concluded.
