Edmonton and its surrounding areas can expect a welcome change in weather as we close out the week. According to meteorologist Josh Classen, warmer and drier conditions are on the horizon.
Classen predicts that temperatures will rise to the low teens on Thursday, with a mix of sun and clouds. Friday will see even warmer temperatures, reaching the mid-teens, and a mostly sunny sky.
The weekend is looking to be even more pleasant, with highs in the high teens and plenty of sunshine. Classen advises that this is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.
But it’s not just the warmth that will make this weekend enjoyable. Classen also forecasts that the region will experience a dry spell, with no significant rainfall expected until at least next week.
This is a welcome change for many, as the Edmonton area has seen above-average precipitation in recent weeks. The drier weather will provide a much-needed break for those dealing with flooding and other weather-related issues.
However, Classen reminds us that the warmer temperatures and lack of rain could also increase the risk of wildfires. He urges everyone to be cautious and follow any fire bans or restrictions in place.
As we head into the weekend, Classen’s forecast brings a sense of relief and excitement for the days ahead. So, let’s make the most of this warmer and drier weather and enjoy the great outdoors while we can.
