Edmonton, AB – The weather forecast for today includes a chance of showers as cooler air moves into the region. According to meteorologist Josh Classen, the city can expect a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 18 degrees Celsius.
Classen explains that the cooler air is settling in after a warm and humid weekend. This change in weather is due to a cold front moving through the area, bringing with it a chance of scattered showers throughout the day.
While the showers are not expected to be heavy or widespread, Classen advises residents to keep an umbrella handy just in case. The chance of precipitation is around 30%, with the highest likelihood in the afternoon and evening.
As for the rest of the week, Classen predicts a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures hovering around the low 20s. However, there is a chance of more rain on Wednesday and Thursday as another system moves through the region.
For those planning outdoor activities, Classen suggests keeping an eye on the forecast and being prepared for potential showers. He also reminds residents to stay hydrated and take precautions against the sun’s UV rays, which will still be strong despite the cooler temperatures.
In terms of long-term weather patterns, Classen notes that the city is currently experiencing a La Niña weather pattern, which typically brings cooler and wetter conditions to Western Canada. This could mean a cooler and wetter fall season for Edmonton and the surrounding areas.
Overall, while today may bring a few showers, the rest of the week looks to be relatively mild and comfortable. Stay tuned for updates and be sure to check the forecast before heading out for the day.
