We’ll get some sunshine in the Edmonton region this morning. A few clouds this afternoon with a slight chance of scattered showers in the area late this afternoon/early this evening.
It’s not expected to be as organized as yesterday’s precipitation, so it should be very spotty, if at all.
East-central Alberta has the best chance for some showers and isolated thunderstorms later today.
We have a bit of snow in the ditches showing up on the 511 highway cameras from around Red Deer south to Calgary and roughly Edson south to Nordegg.
There’s also some snow showing up on radar in NE Alberta this morning, but I’m not seeing any accumulation on the highway cams.
The low pressure system that produced the heavier snow and rain on Monday has moved off to the east.
So, any lingering flurries will taper off later this morning and the heavy snow risk shifts to southern Saskatchewan/Manitoba today.
Another area of low pressure slides into northern Alberta Wednesday, bringing a chance of late-day showers/thunderstorms to central and northern Alberta.
But, beyond Wednesday, high pressure takes over and we’ll get some sunny days Thursday/Friday with temperatures starting to climb.
Daytime highs will be in the mid to upper teens Wednesday/Thursday and then highs near 20 C for Friday/Saturday in Edmonton. But still expecting some gusty wind on Friday.
Looking further out: Daytime highs should be steady in the mid-teens from Sunday through Wednesday of next week.
