Edmonton weather: Cooler, with showers and thunderstorms in central Alberta
Temperatures should be about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday in Edmonton.
After hitting 32 C Tuesday, we'll top out around 23 C this afternoon.
That high of 31.9 C Tuesday was just short of the July 8th record high set last year (32.6 C).
No shot at record highs in the coming days as we'll hit the low 20s today and Thursday, then the mid to upper 20s for Friday/Saturday.
The upper ridge that brought the heat has moved off to the east.
An upper low lurks just northwest of Alberta and we have a cold front stretching south-southwest across the province.
That cold front will likely help trigger some showers and thunderstorms this afternoon with the possibility for some severe thunderstorms - especially from the Red Deer region east to the Saskatchewan border.
As always, not everyone will get hit with a severe storm, but areas that do get hit could see gusts over 100 km/h, large hail and we can't rule out the chance of a tornado.
For the Edmonton region, the chance of a severe storm is very low, but we could see some showers or non-severe thunderstorms in the area this afternoon (especially early to mid afternoon).
Thursday: Partly cloudy and gusts to around 40 km/h in the Edmonton area.
Further south, we'll have some morning rain from Red Deer south to the U.S. border and that precipitation will move southeast through the day.
We'll also watch for some isolated thunderstorms in northeastern Alberta tomorrow.
Here's the forecast for Edmonton and area:
Today - Cloudy with occasional sunny breaks. 40% chance of a shower or thunderstorm this afternoon.
High: 23
Tonight - Mostly cloudy in the evening, clearing overnight.
9pm: 17
Thursday - Partly cloudy. Breezy: NW 20 gusting to 40 km/h.
Morning Low: 12
Afternoon High: 22
Friday - Sunny with a few clouds. Increasing cloud in the evening.
