Edmonton and its surrounding areas can expect a slight drop in temperatures today, along with the possibility of some late-day showers and thunderstorms. According to meteorologist Josh Classen, the weather will be a bit cooler compared to the past few days.
Classen predicts that the temperature will reach a high of 24 degrees Celsius, which is slightly lower than the average for this time of year. However, he also warns that the humidity will make it feel closer to 28 degrees Celsius.
As for the precipitation, Classen says that there is a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening. These storms could bring heavy rain and strong winds, so it is important for residents to stay alert and be prepared.
The cooler temperatures and potential for rain are due to a low-pressure system moving in from the west. This system will also bring some cloud cover, which will help to keep the temperatures from rising too high.
Looking ahead, Classen predicts that the weather will remain unsettled for the rest of the week, with a mix of sun and clouds and the possibility of more showers and thunderstorms. However, he also notes that the temperatures will gradually warm up again, reaching the high 20s by the weekend.
In summary, Edmonton and its surrounding areas can expect a cooler day with the potential for some late-day showers and thunderstorms. Residents are advised to stay informed and prepared for any severe weather that may occur. Stay tuned for further updates from Josh Classen and the CTV News weather team.
