A look at today’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.

What a weekend! It was amazing! Lots of folks out and enjoying the beautiful weather. Hard to complain about what’s in store for today as well.

A mix of sun and cloud and a high of 23. Though late this afternoon there is a chance of thunderstorms rolling into the area. That is where things start to turn around. It looks like we’ll have some showers on Tuesday and even a risk of snow on Wednesday. Seriously? I guess it’s Alberta after all.

It looks like the temperature improves as we head into the later part of the week. Hopefully, it won’t be a snowy May long weekend and we can get out and enjoy a little extra downtime with our families.
