Edmonton weather: Get set for a cool and wet weekend
According to CTV Edmonton's Cory Edel, the weekend will be cooler and a bit wetter. According to CTV Edmonton's Cory Edel, the weekend will be cooler and a bit wetter. Warm and dry today; wet and cooler for the weekend Warm and gusty in the Edmonton region today with temperatures hitting the mid 20s again. But, it's looking a lot cooler, cloudy and wet for the weekend in the city and surrounding areas. Sunshine this morning will give way to some afternoon clouds and wind gusts will pick up to the 30-40 km/h range midday and through the afternoon. We'll have some thunderstorms developing in western Alberta this afternoon and evening with the potential for severe storms. Those will track east into the Red Deer region tonight. But I don't think we'll see much of that action in Edmonton through the early evening hours. It's late this evening and overnight that we start to see some showers and thunderstorms move into the Edmonton region. An area of low pressure will set up over central Alberta on Saturday and the latest modelling puts Edmonton right in the rain zone for most of the day Saturday. The heaviest rain should be early in the morning, but we'll still likely have some showers or periods of light rain over or near the city midday and through the afternoon and evening Saturday. Total rainfall is likely to end up in the 10-20 mm range. Wind will be gusting to around 30-40 km/h and temperatures will top out around 18 or 19 C. We'll stay cloudy through the day Sunday, with a high or 18 or 19 C. There's still a very good chance of some occasional showers, but it should be as heavy or as steady as Saturday. Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area: Today - Sunny this morning. Mix of sun & cloud this afteroon. Wind becoming SE 20 gusting to 40 km/h midday and through the afternoon. High: 25 Tonight - Mostly cloudy. 70% chance of showers or periods of rain late this evening and overnight. 9pm: 21 Saturday - Cloudy with off and on rain. 10-20mm likely.
